Transition metal dichalcogenides combining multiple principal elements in their structures are synthesized via mechanochemical exfoliation and spontaneous reassembly of binary precursors into 3D-heterostructures that are converted into single-phase layered materials by high-temperature reactive fusion. Physical and chemical events enabling these transformations are summarized in the form of a conceivable reaction mechanism.
