"Thermal solid-state reaction" refers to reactions performed in the absence of solvents by either grinding or melting the starting materials together or simply applying heat to a mixture of starting materials. This type of reaction is usually performed in order to obtain polycrystalline inorganic solids but may also be used in organic synthesis. Solid state reactions offer reduced costs, decreased amounts of chemical waste and, sometimes, an increase in yield. (See LaboChema website labochema.com search solid-state reaction.
