Abstract

Heterogeneous and homogeneous non-equilibrium plasma chemistry offers a range of potential advantages compared to conventional thermal activation and synthesis methods. Some examples of how such low temperature electrical discharges can be effectively utilised for selective chemical reaction pathways are given. These include the fluorination of C-H bonds, the synthesis of polyozonides, selective ring opening polymerisation, and the conversion of alkali metal halides to nitrates using air.
