Microwave assisted organic reactions

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

Microwave versus conventional sintering: A review of fundamentals, advantages and applications

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.
