Interplay of thermochemistry and Structural Chemistry, the journal (volume 19, 2008) and the discipline

Abstract

In the current review paper the content of the journal Structural Chemistry for the calendar year 2008 is related to thermochemistry. Papers are summarized and a thermochemical slant added. Often questions are asked and research topics suggested.

“…Their results suggest that graphyne-based biosensors could serve as biosensors for detection of amino acids, that a-graphyne and b-graphyne remain metallic, and that c-graphyne becomes an n-type semiconductor in the presence of aromatic amino acids. If we say that benzene is the building block of graphite, then the ''carbobenzenes'' didehydro [10] annulene and tetradehydro [12] annulene [27] that are the building blocks of the three forms of graphyne. Although there are considerable data on the energetics of substituted benzenes, e.g., the enthalpies of formation of phenylalanine and tyrosine, such data for substituted carbobenzenes are all but totally absent [28].…”

“…Therefore, the structure of this review remains the same as that of its predecessors, and it follows the same conventions as the reviews for 2000 [2], 2001 [3], 2002 [4], 2003 [5], 2004 [6], 2005 [7], 2006 [8], 2007 [9], 2008 [10], 2009 [11], 2010 [12], 2011 (issues 1-3) [13], 2011 (issues 4-6) [14], 2012 (issues 1-3) [15], 2012 (issues 4-6) [16], 2013 (issues 1-2) [17], 2013 (issues 3-4) [18], 2013 (issues 5-6) [19], 2014 (issues 1-2) [20], 2014 (issues 3-4) [21], and 2014 (issues 5-6) [22]. All data for inorganic compounds with otherwise unreferenced enthalpies of formation are assumed from the ''Wagman compendium'' [23], and corresponding unreferenced enthalpies of formation of organic compounds are assumed from the ''Pedley compendium'' [24].…”

“…This review is conceptually and organizationally very much the same as the reviews of previous volumes of this journal [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] in which each article has been reviewed and summarized by us from our personal perspectives as well as knowledge, facilitated wherever possible by the original authors' choice of key words. Of course, our perspectives are often very much different as is also our basic scientific education-it is interesting to observe how scientists working in different areas consider the same subject.…”

“…The main purpose of the reviews remains, however, unchanged-it is to enlighten the chemical/physical scientific community the current research topics in the fields of structural chemistry and related areas, to raise questions that remained during current research unanswered or to suggest future research. Therefore, the current review remains conceptually related to our earlier reviews [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. As such each research paper is summarized and followed by a short thermochemical comment.…”
