Two types of reaction are distinguished in solid state chemistry: those in which high mobility of the reactants is aimed at (which can be achieved by the use of high temperatures, by the introduction of defects, by the promotion of surface diffusion, or by means of chemical transport phenomena), and those reactions in which the nature of the products is determined by existing structural elements or lattice defects of the reactants. The importance of paying more attention than hitherto to reaction pathways in preparative solid state chemistry is pointed out.
