Mechanochemical transformation of planar polyarenes to curved fused-ring systems

The transformation of planar aromatic molecules into non-planar structures is a challenging task and has not been realized by mechanochemistry before. Here, the authors demonstrate that mechanochemical forces can transform a planar polyarene into a curved geometry by creating new C-C bonds along the...
