Abstract

A combination of mechanical synthesis, solid-state analytical techniques (ssNMR, powder XRD, ATR-FTIR) and DFT calculations sheds light on the mechanisms operating in two organometallic solid-state syntheses and highlight the importance of workup protocols in mechanochemical syntheses. The data clearly indicate that product formation can occur during or post grinding.
