Mechanochemistry is emerging as a powerful solvent‐free approach to chemical synthesis. Examples of mechanochemical methodologies in the synthesis of main‐group compounds are few and far between. It is shown that ball‐milling enables the solvent‐free synthesis of a range of phosphazane frameworks with a broad substrate scope, yielding new acyclic and macrocyclic species. Fast, selective and high‐yielding product generation from poorly soluble starting materials demonstrates the potential of mechanochemistry as a powerful alternative to solution‐based methods in synthetic main‐group chemistry.
