Abstract
The factors which cause arcing in metal powder-solvent systems under microw ave irradiation have been systematically investigated. A mechanism which fu lly accounts for the observations is proposed together with guidelines for the minimization or prevention of arcing under such conditions. The studies presented herein will enable synthetic reactions to be performed under the se conditions.
