Examples of mechanochemical reactions triggered or accelerated by milling, grinding, shearing or cavitation have grown in the past years. Particularly interesting has been the application of mechanical energy to facilitate organic synthesis. Along these lines, this Thematic Series gathers original contributions in the field of organic mechanochemistry, including research and review articles. Altogether, the works within this collection not only highlight the well-known advantages of mechanochemistry but are also anticipated to stimulate future applications of mechanochemistry in organic synthesis and in neighboring areas.
