Alexei K. Baev Knihy

The book explores the evolution of thermodynamic theory concerning specific intermolecular interactions in various organic compounds. It introduces a novel perspective on hydrogen bonding, emphasizing the role of a pentacoordinate carbon atom. This unconventional approach aims to enhance the understanding of molecular interactions and their implications in organic chemistry, providing a comprehensive framework for future research in the field.

The book presents an innovative thermodynamic theory focusing on specific intermolecular interactions in element-organic and organometallic compounds, emphasizing pentacoordinate carbon atoms. Building on previous works, the author introduces new hydrogen bond types and interactions, determining their energies through a developed methodology. It also covers organic compound classes not addressed in earlier publications, allowing for a discussion on how molecular structure affects energy and intermolecular interactions, which is crucial in synthetic chemistry and catalysis.

After his first book on the topic „Specific Intermolecular Interactions of Organic Compounds“, Baev extends in this book the development of the thermodynamic theory of specific intermolecular interactions to a wider spectrum of nitrogenated and bioorganic compounds: amino alcohols, amino acids, peptides and urea derivatives. The fundamentals of an unconventional approach to the theory of H-bonding and specific interactions are formulated based on a concept of penta- coordinated carbon atoms. New types of hydrogen bonds and specific interactions are substantiated and on the basis of the developed methodology their energies are determined. The new concept of the extra stabilizing effect of isomeric methyl groups on the structure and stability of nitrogenated organic molecules and bioorganic compounds is introduced and the destabilization action on specific interactions is outlined.
