The phrase "atom economy" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in the context of chemistry to describe the efficiency of a chemical reaction in terms of the amount of starting materials that become useful products.
Example: "The synthesis of the compound demonstrated high atom economy, resulting in minimal waste and maximum yield."
Alternatives: "reaction efficiency" or "material efficiency".
Modern synthetic chemistry with an emphasis on selectivity (chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantio-) and atom economy.
Trost, B. M. The atom economy - a search for synthetic efficiency.
The 100% atom economy delivered by iron metal (Fe0) makes this process green and inexpensive.
The reaction-catalyst fulfills the principle of green chemistry, and with its addition nature the hydrosilylation delivers 100% atom economy.
Reported progress in improvements in reaction atom economy from dynamic kinetic resolution or enantioconvergence is also included.
In view of the demand for high atom economy, insertion of functional groups into chemical bonds is of significant interest to synthetic chemists.
The acyclic chiral nucleic acid analogue, Glycol Nucleic Acid (GNA), displayed exceptional structural simplicity and atom economy while forming self-paired duplexes, using canonical Watson Crick base pairing.
The approach can dramatically improve the synthetic efficiency in a fashion of the atom economy, and naturally falls into the category of a cascade reaction.
This includes less hazardous chemical synthesis, atom economy, prevention, safer solvents, design as energy efficient process, reduction of side products and remarkably, eco-friendly nature.
The aim of "green chemistry" and "atom economy" is to utilize carbon dioxide and replace harmful reactants such as CO and phosgene for the production of cyclic carbonates.
Biocatalytic approaches have come to the fore in recent years as these offer advantages of superior atom economy, mild reaction conditions and excellent stereoselectivity.
