Abstract
The preparation of materials from gas and liquid phase precursor reactions is well documented. However, solid-state precursor routes have remained largely unexplored. Rapid (less than 2 s) solid-state metathesis (exchange) reactions with a very broad range of synthetic applications were developed. These self-propagating reactions allow the preparation of carbides, silicides, chalcogenides (and Te) and pnictides of main-group, transition- and rare-earth metals. These methods can also be exploited to produce mixed-metal and mixed-nonmetal solid solutions. To gain insight into some of the mechanistic factors involved in these reactions, such as initiation, nucleation and propagation, a variety of physical characterisation methods were employed. The range of materials accessible by these synthetic approaches, as well as the control of product crystallinity, phase and homogeneity through the optimisation of reaction conditions are reviewed. 26 refs.
