Green Chemistry Textbooks
A growing number of textbook and related materials are available to support the effort of introducing green chemistry in curricular activities. In addition to the existing textbooks- some already at 2nd or 3rd edition- we will try to keep up with the latest publications that pertain or may be used (in part or entirely) for teaching green chemistry purposes. Below you will find a list of current Green Chemistry textbooks organized by level:
Upper Level Undergraduate/Graduate
Introductory Texts
Experiments in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, Herbert W. Roesky (Editor), Dietmar Kennepohl (Editor), Jean-Marie Lehn (Foreword by), Wiley-VCH 2009 ISBN: 978-3-527-32546-7
Encouraging a new attitude and approach to chemistry, this is the first such collection designed for lab courses and experimental teaching. Experts from around the globe present over 40 real-life teaching experiments, all clearly structured and divided into the five main principles of sustainable and green chemistry: catalysis, solvents, high yield and one-pot synthesis, limiting waste and exposure, as well as special topics. With a foreword by Nobel prize winner Jean Marie Lehn.
Green Chemsitry: Theory and Practice, Paul T. Anastas, John C. Warner, Oxford University Press, ISBN-13 978-0-19-850698-0, first published in 1998, and new as paperback in 2000.
Summary: This book provides the first introductory treatment of the design, development, and evaluation processes central to Green Chemistry. A comprehensive textbook, it takes a broad view of the subject and integrates a wide variety of approaches. Topics include alternative feedstocks, environmentally benign syntheses, the design of safer chemical products, new reaction conditions, alternative solvents and catalyst development, and the use of biosynthesis and biomimetic principles. It introduces new evaluation processes that encompass the complete health and environmental impact of a synthesis, from the choice of starting materials to the final product. Throughout, the text provides specific examples which compare the new methods with classical ones.
Green Organic Chemistry in Lecture and Laboratory, Editor: Andrew P. Dicks, CRC Press, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Publication Date: August 29, 2011.
