Thermal transformations of solids

Thermal transformation of solid phases in the dry state or via solution (Chap. 14)... 

The present review concerning the thermal transformation of solid coordination compounds and metal-organic polymers compounds toward diverse materials is not, nor was it intended to be, exhaustive. And maybe the selection was not always the most conclusive. 

When considering the mechanism, it is useful to classify the thermal transformation of solids into families, including classes and subclasses. Each family, class, or subclass of transformation will present common points even if each transformation has its own characteristics. Therefore, similar ways of study and phenomena description can be applied for each family of transformation.
