In the best tradition of the IUPAC Chemistry
for the 21st Century series, this latest title presents a series of
state-of-the-art reviews on the reactivity of solids. Each of the articles,
written by leading experts, provides a wide overview of progress in
the field, evaluates the state of research at present and examines the
prospects for the future. The book covers the problems related to the
hierarchy of defects in solids, the kinetics of chemical reactions in
solids, and the reactions in solid matrices. It also considers in some
detail various types of heterogeneous reactions, homogeneous reactions
and chemical reactions in organic solids. Special chapters are devoted
to the application of solid state reactions in inorganic synthesis and
the manufacture of new materials.
