Cover Feature: Microcrystalline Cellulose and Cellulose Nanocrystals: Ecofriendly and Sustainable Support Materials in Heterogeneous Nanocatalysis for Green Organic Transformations (Asian J. Org. Chem. 2/2025)

Abstract

The cover design illustrates the applicability of microcrystalline cellulose and cellulose nanocrystals in organic transformations. In the illustration, an organic chemist is excited to explore the wide potential of these commercially viable materials in various sustainable organic reactions within the green forest of cellulose. Microcrystalline cellulose and cellulose nanocrystals offer high catalytic efficiency and selectivity in organic reactions, promoting greener and more sustainable processes. The biocompatibility and renewable nature of these materials attract the attention of organic chemists, especially when compared to traditional catalysts.
