Title: Dynamic mechanochemistry: accelerated self-sorting of two imine-based metal complexes under solvent-free mechanochemical conditions
Self-sorting of two imine-based Cu(i) and Fe(ii) coordination complexes from a six-component reagent library has been achieved through solvent-free mechanochemistry. The reaction proceeds rapidly, yielding the thermodynamically favored products in less than 24 hours. The results point to the potential of mechanochemistry to achieve increasingly complex multi-metallic systems through one-pot protocols.  more » « less

  3. Abstract Over 8 billion tons of plastic have been produced to date, and a 100% reclamation recycling strategy is not foreseeable. This review summarizes how the mechanochemistry of polymers may contribute to a sustainable polymer future by controlling the degradation not only of de novo developed designer polymers but also of plastics in existing waste streams. The historical development of polymer mechanochemistry is presented while highlighting current examples of mechanochemically induced polymer degradation. Additionally, theoretical and computational frameworks are discussed that may lead to the discovery and better understanding of new mechanochemical reactions in the future. This review takes into account technical and engineering perspectives converging the fields of trituration and polymer mechanochemistry with a particular focus on the fate of commodity polymers and potential technologies to monitor mechanochemical reactions while they occur. Therefore, a unique perspective of multiple communities is presented, highlighting the need for future transdisciplinary research to tackle the high-leverage parameters governing an eventually successful mechanochemical degradation approach for a circular economy.
