Review: Discovering the Cluster World. Clusters’ Hidden Parameters Extraction from Thermophysical Data and The Wonders of Molecular Interactions. The Experimentally Based Molecular Interaction Features

摘要

Nowadays, physical chemistry is intensely discussing studies of macroscopic, atomic, subatomic, and particulate phenomena in chemical systems that are closely connected to clusters, clusters as host molecules for other guest molecules. The clusters as host molecules for other guest molecules could be described as adducts. Intermolecular forces, reaction kinetics and rates of reaction, surface chemistry and electrochemistry of membranes, the electrical conductivity of materials and the identity of ions, electrochemical cells, and many other phenomena depend on the presence and state of cluster molecules and adducts. This review discusses two popular books that give readers an introduction to the theory behind the subject. Together with this theory, several practical approaches for applications described in the above books are discussed and explained.
