A detailed investigation into the mechanochemical synthesis of coordination pillared-layer frameworks (CPLs), particularly CPL-1, was carried out. In the case of CPL-1, a two-step reaction was observed (from the starting reactants to the final product). In the conventional solution process, no intermediate state was detected. We found that moisture is essential in both the reaction steps. After...

Mechanochemical approaches are widely used for the efficient, solvent-free synthesis of organic molecules, however their applicability to functional polymers has remained underexplored. In Research Article (e202305783), Carsten Bolm, Andrij Pich, and co-workers developed a free-radical polymerization approach mechanochemically synthesize structurally morphologically well-defined complex macromo...
