A GRAFIC METRIC TO A HOLISTIC EVALUATION OF THE GREENISHNESS OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS - "GREEN STAR". A new semi-quantitative metrics, Green Star (GS), for evaluation of the global greenishness of chemical reactions used in teaching laboratories has been developed. Its aim is to help choosing the more acceptable reactions for implementing Green Chemistry (GC) and to identify suitable modifications of reaction protocols to improve the greenishness of chemistry. GS considers globally all the Twelve Principles of GC. To illustrate its construction, the tetraamminecopper(II) sulfate monohydrate laboratory synthesis. performed under several sets of conditions to pursue greenishness. is presented. A comparative study with other GC metric's showed the advantages of GS and that it accomplishes its purpose.
