“…The basics of mechanochemistry, as well as the experimental and computational protocols were discussed regularly in original publications, and at many dedicated mechanochemical seminars and conferences. The developments in the field were regularly summarized in thoroughly detailed monographs and reviews, that have now become seminal ( Thießen, 1965 ; Avvakumov, 1972 ; Boldyrev, 1972 ; Boldyrev, 1983 ; Heinicke, 1984 ; Tkáčová, 1989 ; Avvakumov et al, 2001 ; Suryanarayana et al, 2001 ; Delogu et al, 2004a ; Boldyrev, 2006 ; Butyagin, 2006 ; Zyryanov, 2008 ; Buyanov et al, 2009 ). The foundation of the International Mechanochemical Association (IMA) ( International Mechanochemical Association, 2020 ) under the guide of IUPAC in 1989, was an important event that marked the formation of a mature scientific community with a common language and a clear vision of the scientific field.…”
