Solid-state reactions with photocrystallography

Photocrystallography reveals new metastable nitrosyl linkage isomers in the solid state

Using the combined techniques of photocrystallography and infrared spectroscopy is a very powerful method for generating and establishing the structures of metastable linkage isomers in the solid state as exemplified by the work of Casaretto et al. [IUCrJ (2015), 2, 35-44] on [RuCl(NO)2(PPh3)2]BF4.

Functional diversity in templated solid state reactions

Photocrystallography.

This review describes the development and application of a new crystallographic technique that is starting to enable the three-dimensional structural determination of molecules in their photo-activated states. So called ;photocrystallography' has wide applicability, particularly in the currently exciting area of photonics, and a discussion of this applied potential is put into context in this a...

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...
