Preface

Since the time of discovery of noncovalency bonds the energy of the hydrogen bond in water remains the reliably measured value. Yet quite a number of versatile organic compounds have been synthesized; certain success is attained in the field of structural studies, in measuring intramolecular bonds energies, in carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and proteins chemistry, and in the development of the chemistry of organoelemental compounds. The lack in the scientific publications of the information on the energy of hydrogen bonds and specific intermolecular interactions between the simplest organic compounds (methane, ethane, ethylene, methyl ether, and formic acid) provides special difficulties in their investigation. This impedes the progress in the development of the theoretical concepts of the solution chemistry, in the establishment of correspondence between the structure and energy in various classes of organic compounds, the understanding of the solvates structure, and the specific features of interspecies interaction. Even more difficulties exist in the development in the field of solution chemistry of an independent supramolecular chemistry, the chemistry of intermolecular bonds corresponding to the association between two or more chemical species of large size. A vigorous development is observed in the physical chemistry of organoelemental compounds serving as a certain bridge connecting the inorganic and organic chemistry where frequently appear concepts contradicting the current notions existing in these fields, but which are key points for creating hypotheses, new ideas, and developing of theories inadequate to the existing ones. Let us
