Organic Solid-State Reactions : Solid-State Gabriel Reactions

Understanding solid/solid organic reactions.

The concept of an organic reaction between two macroscopic solid particles is investigated. Thus, we study several reactions that have been recently reported to proceed "in the solid phase" and clearly show that, in most cases, grinding the two solid reactants together results in the formation of a liquid phase. This is true both for catalytic transformations (e.g., aldol condensations and olig...

Functional diversity in templated solid state reactions

Manganese Antimonate: Facile solid state synthesis, characterization and its application for Biginelli reactions

Nanostructured Mn2Sb2O7 powders were synthesized via stoichiometric1:1 Mn:Sb molar ratio solid state reaction at different reactions temperatures for 8 h using MnSO4.H2O and Sb2O3 as raw materials. The synthesized materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. Structural analyses were performed by the FullProf program employing profile matching with constant scale fa...

Application of solid-state kinetics to desolvation reactions

Mathematical methods have been developed to evaluate solid-state kinetics. They generally fall into two categories: model-fitting or model-free (isoconversional). Modelfitting methods determine the kinetic triplet (model, frequency factor and activation energy) whereas isoconversional (model-free) methods generate the activation energy as a function of reaction progress without modelistic assum...

Will measuring mechanical properties help us understand solid-state reactions?

In the solid-state photodimerization of cinnamic acid polymorphs, can mechanical properties tell us whether Schmidt 'minimal molecular movement' or Kaupp 'molecular migration' is more important?
