TL;DR: A general group theoretical criterion based on the Pairing Principle in Stone's Tensor Surface Harmonic Theory is presented for polar deltahedra with 3p+1 (p = 1, 2, 3,…, X) atoms and belonging to the C3, C3v, T and Td point groups as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the principles underlying the dielectric heating effects observed for chemical compounds in solution and in the solid state are presented, and applications of the technique to a wide range of chemical syntheses have also been indicated.
Abstract: This review has presented the principles underlying the dielectric heating effects observed for chemical compounds in solution and in the solid state. The applications of the technique to a wide range of chemical syntheses have also been indicated. The field is in its infancy and therefore much of the effort to date has been directed towards understanding the rate enhancements of known reactions. The next few years should see the isolation of new compounds using microwave heating techniques

TL;DR: A review of microwave-assisted synthesis of inorganic materials can be found in this article, where a variety of materials such as carbides, nitrides, complex oxides, silicides, zeolites, apatite, etc.
Abstract: Use of microwaves in the synthesis of materials is gaining importance. Microwave-assisted synthesis is generally much faster, cleaner, and more economical than the conventional methods. A variety of materials such as carbides, nitrides, complex oxides, silicides, zeolites, apatite, etc. have been synthesized using microwaves. Many of these are of industrial and technological importance. An understanding of the microwave interaction with materials has been based on concepts of dielectric heating and of the resonance absorption due to rotational excitation. This review presents a summary of recent reports of microwave synthesis of inorganic materials. Various observations regarding microwave interaction with materials are also briefly discussed.

TL;DR: There are good reasons why many pharmaceutical companies are incorporating microwave chemistry into their drug discovery efforts and the many advantages of using rapid 'microwave flash heating' for chemical synthesis is the dramatic reduction in reaction times.
Abstract: In the past few years, using microwave energy to heat and drive chemical reactions has become increasingly popular in the medicinal chemistry community. First described 20 years ago, this non-classical heating method has matured from a laboratory curiosity to an established technique that is heavily used in academia and industry. One of the many advantages of using rapid 'microwave flash heating' for chemical synthesis is the dramatic reduction in reaction times--from days and hours to minutes and seconds. As will be discussed here, there are good reasons why many pharmaceutical companies are incorporating microwave chemistry into their drug discovery efforts.
