Abstract

It is well known that solid state reactions can occur at high temperatures, and this Journal has documented many such experiments for students in solid state lab (1 - 4). However, it is not well known - and it is even doubted - that some solid state reactions can take place at room temperature. We have done a lot to eliminate the doubts, and have found that room temperature offers some synthetic advantages (5, 6).

A recent demonstration proved very successful. It shows that reaction between two solids can not only take place at room temperature, but can also go to completion in a very short time.
