In this IJMS section, original peer-reviewed papers from all aspects of Green Chemistry are published.
Studies that aim to design chemical products or processes that aim to reduce or eliminate the generation
of hazardous substances, prevent pollution or help to create alternative sustainable technologies are considered.
The section provides a platform to the discussion and publication of original and scientific research
that is likely to have large general impact.

Topics of special interest include, but are not strictly limited to, the following:
 

supercritical carbon dioxide aqueous hydrogen peroxide

hydrogen in assymetric synthesis supercritical water oxidation supramolecular chemistry
