What Are Some Examples of Solvent-Free Catalytic Reactions?
Several types of reactions can be performed without solvents, including:
Solid-state reactions: Reactions between solid reactants facilitated by a solid catalyst. These are common in the synthesis of inorganic materials. Gas-phase reactions: Reactions where gaseous reactants interact over a solid catalyst, often used in petrochemical processes. Mechanochemical reactions: Reactions induced by mechanical force, such as grinding, often in the presence of a catalyst.
