Abstract

Mechanochemical techniques have exceptional potential for the environmentally benign, rapid, and facile preparation of new molecules and materials. Understanding and controlling mechanochemical processes remains a great challenge. Numerous analytical methods have been developed for the time-resolved in situ monitoring of mechanochemical transformations, including powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and thermography. Through this chapter, examples are discussed, which highlight the use of each technique to monitor the evolution of mechanochemical transformations. Moreover, examples in which multiple techniques are combined to provide additional insights are provided. Applications across the chemical and materials sciences are described, including framework materials, pharmaceutically relevant solids, cementitious materials, and coordination polymers.
