Preferred Label : syntectic reaction;
IUPAC definition : A reversible reaction that involves the conversion of two liquid phases, l' and l'',
into a solid phase α on cooling: \[{l} {'} {l} {''}\rightleftharpoons α \] The maximum
temperature at which this reaction can occur is the congruent melting point of the
solid phase. Example: The conversion of co-existing K-rich and Zn-rich phases in the
K-Zn system to form an intermediate solid phase KZn sub 13 /sub .;
