Mechanochemistry makes the next move in advancing organometallic synthesis. In their Research Article (e202305775), Riina Aav, Dzmitry G. Kananovich et al. report a mechanochemical adaptation of Mg-mediated Barbier reaction, which overcomes limitations classic solvent-based approach. Mechanochemical activation enables rapid generation Grignard reagents situ, making process resistant to air and ...

The Front Cover shows the aspects that make this work unique. artwork background represents ball bearings and movement inside a mixer mill. arrows flow from cool to warm tones illustrate temperature control is used obtain different outcomes for reduction. element symbols iron, nickel, chromium are symbol mechanochemistry since these metals facilitate reaction. design by Mahnaz Amin Foroughi.

Recently, Block and coworkers [Visscher, K., Schnitzer, M. J., & Block, S. M. (1999) Nature (London) 400, 184--189 and Schnitzer, M. J., Visscher, K. & Block, S. M. (2000) Nat. Cell Biol. 2, 718--723] have reported extensive observations of individual kinesin molecules moving along microtubules in vitro under controlled loads, F = 1 to 8 pN, with [ATP] = 1 microM to 2 mM. Their measurements of ...

Fifteen mechanochemical phenomena observed under compression and plastic shear of materials in a rotational diamond anvil cell (RDAC) are systematized. They are related to strain-induced structural changes (SCs) under high pressure, including phase transformations (PTs) and chemical reactions. A simple, three-scale continuum thermodynamic theory and closed-form solutions are developed which exp...
