Microwave Chemistry

Giancarlo Cravotto, Diego Carnaroglio (Eds.)

Overview

Microwave Chemistry describes the state-of-the-art of microwave (MW) technology and its applications in chemistry.
Despite the publication of a number of excellent books on MW chemistry and processing, there is a lack of suitable textbooks that address the needs of MS and PhD students, who need ready access to the relevant knowledge to help them appropriately design and carry out new experiments under dielectric heating. Although numerous other activation methods and technologies are accessible for conducting a chemical reaction, it is hard to imagine a chemical research laboratory without a MW reactor like a typical household kitchen. We sincerely hope that this textbook will contribute to encouraging a new generation of chemists to exploit the MW heating technique as a common tool in their research endeavours. All the eminent authors of the chapters in this textbook are steadfast MW users.
