Molecular and Supramolecular Mechanosynthesis

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mechanochemistry is transforming the way we design and carry out chemical processes—harnessing mechanical force instead of heat or solvents to drive reactions with unprecedented efficiency, sustainability, and precision. From solvent-free organic syntheses and rapid metal–organic framework assembly to innovative polymer recycling and smart, force-responsive materials, this emergent field is unlocking greener pathways and breakthrough functionalities across catalysis, materials science, energy storage, and beyond. In this Topic, we shall focus on the forefront of mechanochemical discovery to share the latest insights, methodologies, and applications. Whether you are developing novel milling protocols, exploring mechanophore-activated systems, or advancing scale-up strategies, your contributions will help shape the next wave of sustainable, high-impact science. The scope of this Topic will consist of topical research, including (but not limited to) the following areas:

• Organic synthesis;
• Pharmaceutical cocrystals;
• Metal–Organic Frameworks
• Nanoparticle synthesis;
• Polymer synthesis;
• Composites;
• Catalysis.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
