Issue 9 of Green Chemistry is now available to read online.

The front cover this month (pictured left) features work by Terrence Collins, Robert Tanguay and co-workers from the USA. In their Communication, they report how Zebrafish embryo developmental assays allow the relationships between catalyst structure, performance and toxicity to be mapped for seven full functional mimics of peroxidase enzymes of the TAML activator family.

The inside front cover this month (pictured right) features work by Luigi Vaccaro and co-workers from Perugia, Italy. In their work they report a flow procedure which produces excellent yields of 1,2-azido alcohols and significantly minimizes waste. Furthermore, 1,2-amino alcohols are also prepared in quantitative yields.
