Solid-Solid State Reactions between TiO2 and BaCO3

Ambient solid-state mechano-chemical reactions between functionalized carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes can be chemically modified by attaching various functionalities to their surfaces, although harsh chemical treatments can lead to their break-up into graphene nanostructures. On the other hand, direct coupling between functionalities bound on individual nanotubes could lead to, as yet unexplored, spontaneous chemical reactions. Here we report an ambient mechano-chemical reactio...

Functional diversity in templated solid state 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...

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...

Solid-state Diffusion and Crystal Growth: Two Important Steps for Gas-solid Reactions

The importance of solid-state diffusion and crystal growth of the solid product in a gas-solid reaction with solid product formation (GSRSPF) are discussed with direct sulfation of limestone as a representative example. A GSRSPF usually involves nucleation and crystal growth of the solid product, which are necessary processes for the formation of the new phase of the solid product. Solid-state ...
