Funded Activity Summary

On-water catalysis for green chemistry. The on-water effect enables acid-catalysed organic reactions to be conducted as emulsions in water, instead of dissolved in expensive and often toxic organic solvents. This research will define the scope and limitations of the effect, allowing predictions about the extent of its applicability in green chemistry using water and renewable feedstocks.
