Mechanochemistry 101: mashing molecules towards greener syntheses

Author: IMPACTIVE.
Grinding stuff sounds simple. In fact, it’s oddly one of the oldest ways to carry out chemical reactions. And, although solvent-based chemistry still dominates the industry, mechanochemistry –transformations enabled by mechanical force– experiences a new surge, an exciting era of rediscovery. Inspired by the 12 principles of green chemistry, mechanochemistry could really reshape chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
