“…In earlier papers, Stem-Beren (now Stem) and Liebman reviewed the contents of this journal "Structural Chemistry" for the years 2002 and 2003; each paper was given a thermochemical commentary, "spin" or "slant" [1,2] with additional reviews specific to years 2000 [3a] and 2001 [3b] included. In a similar manner, this work reviews most of the studies that were published in this journal in the year 2004.…”

“…How different are the enthalpies of formation of the isomeric aa 1 -aa 2 and aa 2 -aa 1 ? How thermoneutral is the reaction aa 1 − aa 1 + aa 2 − aa 2 → aa 1 − aa 2 + aa 2 − aa 1 (1)…”

As practiced disciplines, structural chemistry, and thermochemistry need not necessarily be related. Yet such relationships, ranging from minor to very close, can help our overall understanding and detailed analyses of the species and methods under consideration. In the current study, these relations are made more evident from among the contents of the journal "Structural Chemistry" (Vol. 15) for the year 2004. The year's articles have been reviewed, giving to most of those appearing therein a thermochemical commentary, "spin" or "slant." A special emphasis is made on raising questions or noting possible future research topics that arise when looking at the relations noted earlier.

In this study, we relate the contents of the journal Structural Chemistry for the calendar year 2007 and thermochemistry. The year's articles were briefly summarized and a thermochemical comment written to supplement them. Frequently questions were asked and future research was suggested.Keywords Structural Chemistry Á Thermochemistry Á Thermodynamics Á Enthalpy of formation Á Enthalpy of phase change Á Enthalpy of reaction As practiced disciplines, structural chemistry and thermochemistry are very often unrelated. In this study, these disciplines are linked as relations are explicitly made using the contents of the journal Structural Chemistry (Vol. 18) for the calendar year 2007 as a scaffold for our analysis, for our selected articles in the discipline of structural chemistry. These studies have been reviewed by us, where we give them a thermochemical flavor. While this commentary is most generally written in terms of brief summaries of literature papers involving enthalpies of formation and/or reaction, not uncommonly we raise questions and even suggest possible future research. We are not, however, going to give a thermochemical slant on book reviews, honorary dedications, and obituaries although these works will be cited in our text.As such, this article is a sequel to our earlier related reviews of Structural Chemistry for the calendar years 2000 through 2004 [1-5]. Reviews for 2005 and 2006 are currently being prepared. Issue 1In the first article in the first issue of Structural Chemistry for 2007, Hargittai [6] asserted that while research is currently usually carried out in big groups, the most important ideas, observations and discoveries still belong to individuals who have to bring down dogmas or open entirely new areas in science. This may bring solace to the thermochemical community in which research groups are generally small, and the number of new practitioners sadly few.In the past decade, the crystal engineering of multidimensional arrays and networks containing metal ions has achieved considerable progress because of the increased interest in the potential utility of these compounds as zeolite-like materials [7-11], catalysts [12], or magnetic materials [13][14][15]. The thermochemistry of these species is complicated by their inherent complexity: however, estimation approaches of their key thermochemical quantities are increasingly reliable [16]. In the second article of this issue, by Wang et al. [17], the versatility of malonate dianion as a ligand for the construction of extended networks with different topologies dependent on the coordination geometry of the metal ion was discussed. The synthesis and structure of a novel malonate-bridged copper(II) compound in which copper(II) ions have two different coordination environments in a novel three-dimensional (3D) network was described. Metal malonates have been studied from a
