A simple quantitative approach to enable chemists to compare alternative chemical syntheses on the lab bench with respect to their resource usage and their potential environmental impact is proposed; this may be useful for the systematic design of more sustainable processes. We consider as metrics the mass index S(-1) and the environmental factor E to characterize quantitatively the reaction in...

Mahmoud Zarei was born in Hamedan, Iran in 1986. He received his B.Sc. in pure chemistry (2010) from Islamic Azad University Arak and M.Sc. in organic chemistry (2013) at Bu-Ali Sina University, Iran. Also, he received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry (2017) under the supervision of Prof. Mohammad Ali Zolfigol. He is currently working towards his postdoctoral under the supervision of Prof. Mohamm...

Mechanochemistry is a powerful and environmentally friendly synthetic technique successfully employed in different fields of synthetic chemistry. Application spans from organic to inorganic chemistry including the synthesis of coordination compounds. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of compounds with numerous applications, from which we highlight herein their application in the pharm...

sphere-like shaped cobalt oxide nanoparticles (co3o4) were synthesized by a simple wet chemical method using cobalt chloride as precursor and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (ctab) as surfactant. their structural and surface morphologial properties were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (hrtem), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and x-ray diffra...

ehsan noroozizadeh was born in dezful/khoozestan, iran. he received his b.s. in pure chemistry (2011) and m.s. in organic chemistry (2013) from bu-ali sina university, iran. he is currently working towards his ph.d. under the supervision of professor mohammad ali zolfigol. his research interest is catalysis, including the application of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis in organic synthesis.

Sol–gel chemistry is an efficient tool to control the morphology and reactivity of solids. Drying is the crucial step due to the capillary forces exerted during the classic ambient drying process, which induces the collapse of the wet gel porosity. The use of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), a newly found DCCA were found to be effective in the sol–gel synthesis of crack-free silica gel monolith fr...

the solvent free route for the synthesis of diaryl sulfoxides from arenes and thionyl chloride in the presence of lewis acids such as aluminum chloride and ferric chloride on silica gel are described.
