Various technii^es have been used to study the solid*
state reactions* The slnplest* inexpensive and versatile
capillary technique has been used to investigate po««der
reactions. For inorganic coaipounds a cos^irehensive review
regarding the transport mechenleai and the reaction steps
hac been reported byHardel(6). Solid*state organic
chenlttry has been reviewed by Cohen and Qreen(3}.

(4) Reaction of the molecules or ions of the substance M

Analogous reactions ara atsuatd for tha migration

molaculaa and ions (Figure i}« Zf tha reactanta M and N

On the basis of results obtained fros this techniciue
the foroatica) of charge*transfer complexes has been proposed
for the reaction of solid picric acid «dth a nuR er of solid
hydrocarbonsCS). rlth the help of similar type of studies
riinghC i l l concludes that t^e diffusion at ^ e surface occurs
at a very fast rate tvhen the migrating molecules and
substrate isoleeules have the same sites and slotilar syimetries.
These unique characteristics of organic solid«6tate reactions
have been utilised for the analytical purporea by Uureshi
et«al.(12). They have described capillary solid-state spot-
tests for the detection of ao«e nitrogen compounds and the
seni^antitative detemination of diphenylanine with p»diiiethyl«

For solid*8t8te dataction of acids, mixturas of

obtained in the presence of strong acid (KHSO ) v«ere leaa
informative than those obtained in 'tiie presence of iveak acids.
Therefore phthalic acid - p*DAB fixture i s chosen as the
reagent for ureas and phenols. Oiphenylanine reacts with
aldehydes (18) and sugara(l9] in the presence of acids.
However Z found that DPm reacts directly with the above

Junction i t foxaied under conditions (i}» ( i i i ) and ( i v ) ,
osving to ^ e compact nature of the chromogen. Under
condition (iv) results are very reproducible ta^ereas
condition ( i ) i s easier to use* the colours are brighter
and the results are reproducible, but the direction of
moveeient of the coloured boundary depends on the anount of
sttnospheric moisture. I t has also boon observed (10) that
the coloured boundary moves from the substance with higher
vapour pressure towards the substance larith the lower vapour
pressure, the length of the coloured boundary depends on
the concentration (Table XZI) sise (Table V) and syiUBetry(2l)
of the diffusing species and the substrate (Table VSI). This
characteristic of solid state reactions can be used for the
semiquantitative detemination of the diffusing species and
the substrate and this has been achieved for ci tr ic acid,
p»OAB, sucrose and glucose (Table X). Results given in
table IV show that the length of the coloured boundary and

diatinguiehad by tha length of tha boundary, aapaclally
whan tha raactlon tl»a is increasad to 12 hr (Tabla IV).
Table II shoivs that ondar condition ( l i i U tha length of
tha boundary can not ba used to distinguish salicylic acid
from citr ic acid, or malonlc acid from phthalic ecld but
dilution of tha oaropla makes the distinction poeaibla
(Tabla III) .
In tha cea© of sugera (Table VII) the eaneltlvlty
of tha taste can ba enhanced by doing ti)e teat at elevated
temperature and for long direction. At low teiQper8ture(50*^)
none of the sugars gives colour before 3 hr. At 90®C after
5 nlnutea only fructose» glucose, maltose and rhaanose give
yellow colour so that they can bo distinguished from other
sugars under study. After ^ hr. the coloured boundary for
fructose, naltose and rhSBmese sielta and for glucose turns
blue. Hence glucose can be diatingulshed selectively. On
the basis of colour trahlosa can be diatingulshed from other
sugar a as i t gives brown colour after 30 ninutes w^lch
persists for 2 hr. At 9C.1C0^. glucose and trehlose give
coloured boundries that aiova 6 and 1.9tMi respectively in
