Can there even be such a thing as unnatural chemistry?
If anything can be then piezochemical mechanosynthesis will come the closest.
Contents
Enzymes barely do piezochemical mechanosynthesis
In nature Enzymes do perform to some degree directed controlled motion to facilitate chemical reactions while the constrains can be quite string (as can be seen in ion channels with stiff interiors that only let pass ions of a specific size) the forces applies are rather limited.
Natural piezochemistry comes only isotropic and hot
Naturally occurring really high forces in chemical bonds are involved deep down inside of planets. But there these forced always come as isoropic pressure from all sides and are usually accompanied with extremely high temperatures. Very different to what one would find in artificial piezochemical mechanosynthesis processes.
Other natural chemical processes that come close?
Are there any? It does not seem so.
