We unveil the seismobond engineering\u2014a regioselective intramolecular ether bond sparked directly by mechanical kinetic energy in aqueous solutions.

This molecular structural reconfiguration acts as an actuating molecular switch, turning molecular pink color and orange fluorescence on and off. Fundamentally, shaking performs mechanical work that physically reshapes the Gibbs free energy landscape, propelling intramolecular bond formation beyond simple thermodynamic limits. This is a seismic shift in chemistry, launching the foundational eras of seismochemistry, seismochromism, and seismofluorescence. More importantly, it demonstrates the potential to convert mechanical shaking energy ubiquitous in the environment to chemical energy for storage or later usage.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/chem.71704","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,21]],"date-time":"2026-09-21T08:09:39Z","timestamp":1789978179000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bond Formation: Shaken, Not Stirred"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9586-0596","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander D.
