Solventless thermolysis

Solventless Thermolysis A Possible Bridge Between Crystal Structure and Nanosynthesis ... 

A solventless thermolysis method was adopted for the synthesis of size controlled Ag2S nanopartieles. In this method, silver xanthate was prepared by adding silver nitrate solution dropwise on to potassium xanthate containing each octyl, hexadecyl and carnaubyl xanthates separately in a methanolie solution. Silver xanthate precipitates that form rapidly were washed and in water/methanol mixture and methanol after centrifugation and dried. The silver xanthate was then heated to... 

Expeditious preparation of N-sulfonylimines has been optimized for one-pot solventless operation that involves microwave thermolysis of aldehydes and sulfonamides in presence of relatively benign reagents, calcium carbonate and montmoril-lonite K 10 clay (Scheme 6.23) [76],...
