Do Thermally Mild Chemical Reactions (for Avoiding Fire Accidents) Give Rise to Unexpected Products?

Abstract

One of the most probable and frequent reasons for a chemical experiment fire accident may be dangerous heating as well as the reagent itself (e.g. volatility and ignition) during a chemical reaction. Some reaction methods without heating (such as long-time stirring at room temperature) and using advanced tools (such as a microfluidic device), which are associated with unusual intermediates kinetically and may result in yielding unexpected products thermodynamically. This paper focused on two complicated examples of crystal structure analysis of unexpected and/but normal products.
