Conglomerate crystallization is required for many deracemization or enantioenrichment protocols. Here, we report the metal-mediated mechanochemical transformation of racemic compounds of some proteinogenic amino acids - valine, leucine and isoleucine - into their corresponding conglomerates. Specifically, ZnO has the ability to promote and stabilize the conglomerate phase of these amino acids to an extent where the racemic compound is not observed.

An alternative approach to reducing the clinker factor, i.e., worldwide CO emissions resulting from the production of composite cement, is to replace these materials with supplementary aluminosilicate-based materials that promote the formation of alkali-activated cements, whose elevated temperature resistance, limited permeability, strong binding properties, excellent durability, high chemical corrosion resistance, confinement of toxic waste, and environmentally low impact have attracted a lot of attention in the cement industry.

This study presents the mechanochemical synthesis of the two KCa(CO) polymorphs, fairchildite and buetschliite, from CaCO and KCO using a shaker mill. Unlike previous methods requiring high temperatures and prolonged heating, fairchildite, a high-temperature polymorph, is formed initially in all experiments, adhering to Ostwald's rule of stages. Notably, the transformation to the stable buetschliite phase can be achieved by varying milling parameters, particularly frequency and moisture content.

Initiating or sustaining physical and chemical transformations with mechanical force - mechanochemistry - provides an opportunity for more sustainable chemical processes, and access to new chemical reactivity. These transformations, however, do not always adhere to 'conventional' chemical wisdom, making them difficult to design and rationalise. This challenge is exacerbated by the fact that not all mechanochemical transformations are equal, with mechanical force playing a different role in different types of processes.

Polymer mechanochemistry induces chemical reactivity by applying a directed force, which can lead to unexpected reaction mechanisms. Strained cyclic molecules are often used in force-sensitive motifs because of the strong force coupling of ring-opening reactions. In this computational study, the force dependence of the ring-opening reactions of oxirane will be investigated.
