Traditional chemotherapy suffers from severe toxicity and side effects that limit its maximum
application in cancer therapy. To overcome this challenge, an ideal treatment strategy would …

In the following section, we will recapitulate selected experimental milestones through the
eyes of the theoretician, which, in our opinion, significantly advanced the field of covalent …

In situations of power outage or shortage, such as periods just following a seismic disaster,
the only reliable power source available is the most fundamental of forces ie, manual …

The mechanically accelerated ring-opening reaction of spiropyran to a colored merocyanine
provides a useful method by which to image the molecular scale stress/strain distribution …

Mechanical force drives distinct chemical reactions; yet, its vectoral nature results in
complicated coupling with reaction trajectories. Here, we utilize a physical organic model …

Over the past decades, it became clear that next to heat and light, pericyclic reactions can be
induced mechanochemically when the reacting motifs are embedded as latent force …

Current activity in, and future prospects for, the incorporation of mechanochemically active
functional groups (“mechanophores”) into polymers is reviewed. This area of research is …

In quantum mechanochemistry, quantum chemical methods are used to describe molecules
under the influence of an external force. The calculation of geometries, energies, transition …

Force can induce remarkable non-destructive transformations along a polymer, but we have
a limited understanding of the energy transduction and product distribution in tandem …

Mechanical force, with its ability to distort, bend, and stretch chemical bonds, is unique in the
way it activates chemical reactions. In polymer mechanochemistry, the force is transduced in …
