DESCRIPTION:Solid-state chemistry is undergoing a period of intense re-disc
 overy\, driven by the need to develop chemical transformations that are cl
 eaner\, more energy-efficient or simply different than conventional soluti
 on-based routes. The rapid development of such solvent-free or solvent-lim
 ited approaches to synthesis of materials or molecules over the past two d
 ecades has largely been fueled by the intense development of mechanochemic
 al reactions\, i.e. chemical reactions induced or sustained by mechanical 
 force.[1] The recent applications of mechanochemistry span a diversity of 
 areas\, from the synthesis of complex solids\, such as pharmaceutical cocr
 ystals or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to metal-catalyzed or organocata
 lytic transformations.\n\nThis talk will outline some of the group’s recen
 t advances in the discovery of previously unknown chemical transformations
  for making active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and pharmaceutically 
 attractive targets in general\,[2] as well as in the synthesis and discove
 ry of MOFs. In particular\, these herein highlighted synthetic advances ar
 e enabled solely through mechanochemistry\, and in some cases their develo
 pment has been strongly aided through the application of recently introduc
 ed methodologies for real-time monitoring of chemical reactions by milling
 .[3] Therefore\, these results highlight mechanochemistry and ball milling
  not only as tools for ‘greening’ chemical and materials synthesis\, but a
 s a self-standing tool for their development and discovery. We will also a
 ddress the development of a new synthetic methodology of ‘accelerated agin
 g’\, which takes on concepts of geological biomineralization to establish 
 a materials-efficient route to synthesize new metal-organic materials from
  readily available feedstocks\, with minimum investment of energy.[4]\n\n
