Microwave heating has a good number of advantages in the synthesis of inorganic compounds when opportunely exploited. A deep knowledge of the interaction of the electromagnetic waves and matter is necessary to optimize irradiation of the reactor vessel so that to obtain homogeneous heating for homogeneous nucleation and growth of particle, localized heating of starting self-sustained high temperature synthesis and generate superfast heating and cooling profile to get metastable crystals. Case studies of pure oxides, mixed oxides, composites, phosphates, zeolites, and high entropy alloys have been discussed in the international frame of the academic and industrial research covering the last 20 years of microwave chemistry where Italian researchers covered a relevant role.
