Energetic future research

Calorimetry is a discipline demanding exquisite experimental care, and is an art as well as a science compared to many other areas of the chemical sciences, there are comparatively few new apprentices of this study. To aid future researchers interested in performing new experiments on the energetics of organomagnesium compounds, as well as historians of our science, we describe in considerable detail the earlier experiments performed by one of the authors (T.H.) but not included in the original publication. 

In this final chapter, an attempt is made to provide an overview of the capabilities of quantum-mechanical methods at the present time, and to highlight the needs for future development and possible future applications of these methods, particularly in areas related to mineral structures, energetics, and spectroscopy. There is also a brief account of some new areas of application, specific directions for future research, and possible developments in the perception and use of quantum-mechanical approaches. The book ends with an epilog on the overall role of theoretical geochemistry in the earth and environmental sciences. 

One important topic for future research is the interaction or interplay between energetical mechanisms and psychological resources that comprise the construct of mental workload. Given that psychophysiological measures appear to reflect both general and specific aspects of workload, they provide a potentially ideal methodology with which to examine the control and deployment of...

We believe that future research should focus on methodologies that are capable of quantifying individual animal differences in energetic efficiency, including inter-animal variances in energy requirements for maintenance and growth, and efficiency of use of energy.

The reason for this behavior in the case of the double-bonded structures ( A -type phosphorus) is the easy dimerization of the P=C bond. Tricoordinate planar (or nearly planar) phosphorus ( B - and C -type bonding) can be stabilized by repyramidalization when the cyclic electron delocalization is disturbed or lost (e.g., in a chemical reaction). The fine balance between these energetic effects cannot easily be predicted by using analogies or other simple models. Such predictions, however, can be made by using the sophisticated methods of computational chemistry, leaving the field of the chemistry of the aromatic phosphorus compounds an interesting research area with unexpected results in the future. 

Vast research efforts have been pooled into finding new energetic V-heterocycles over the past 30 years and, consequently, the number of reported compounds is huge. It is quite impossible to discuss all the materials reported in this area in the space available. We personally believe that V-heterocycles should be the subject of its own book and this may well be the case in the future. We draw the reader to a number of excellent reviews, which together cover most of the past and present literature on V-heterocycles. 

In systems where the correlation holds, physical chemists can analyze the energetics of association and perform computer simulations of the recognition process based on this analysis. While still far from satisfactory, structure-based theoretical approaches to macromolecular recognition— another subject of our chapter—represent an active field of research with an important future in the postgenomic era. In a matter of years, large-scale efforts in protein structure determination are expected to provide...
