The chemistry and physics of dendritic compounds started a decade ago [1-5]. Today, this science of uniquely shaped molecules, namely, dendrite-shaped molecules, is one of the most exciting topics of contemporary interdisciphnary research. The dendrimers and their related molecules have been investigated widely not only from the viewpoints of synthetic, physical, and material chemistries but also from that of mathematics. Accompanying the development of the science in this decade, research interest has shifted from the mere challenge of preparing molecules with unique shapes, via their excited state chemistries involving inter- and/or intramolecular photo-induced electron and/or energy transfer, to the nanoscience. 

This complex and structurally related molecules served as a functional homogeneous model system for commercially used heterogeneous catalysts based on chromium (e.g. Cp2Cr on silica - Union Carbide catalyst). The kinetics of the polymerization have been studied to elucidate mechanistic features of the catalysis and in order to characterize the potential energy surface of the catalytic reaction. 

In common with similar approaches that relate solvent accessible surface to cavity free energy90-93, the simple SMI model required careful parameterization, and assumed that atoms interacted with solvent in a manner independent of their immediate molecular environment and their hybridization76. In more recent implementations of the SMx approach, ak parameters are selected for particular atoms based on properties determined from the SCF wavefunction that is evaluated during calculation of the solute and solvent polarization energies27. On the other hand, the inclusion of more parameters in the solvation model requires access to substantial amounts of experimental data for the solvation free energies of molecules in the training set94 95. 

The importance of the idea that energy is quantized is impossible to overstate. It applies to all types of energies related to atoms and molecules. It forms the basis of the various experimental techniques for studying the structure of atoms and molecules. The energy levels may be electronic, vibrational, or rotational depending on the type of experiment conducted.

These energies relate to bond rearrangement in gaseous molecules, but calculations are often performed for reactions of condensed phases, by combining the enthalpies of vaporization, sublimation, etc. We can calculate a value without further correction if a crude value of AHr is sufficient, or we do not know the enthalpies of phase changes. 

These energy bounds are based on two theorems (10-12) which utilize the fact that in the quantum chemical energy expectation value functional the nuclear charges can be regarded as continuous variables. A series of energy relations can be derived for iso-electronic molecules which contain different nuclei, or the same nuclei in different positions. A corollary of the first theorem states (eq.32 in (10)) that... 

However, more useful energy relations can be obtained if the single atom is replaced by one or several molecules, satisfying the constraints of the same general relation (eq. 32 in (10)). If, for example, is a molecule, isoelectronic and isoprotonic with Mq and M, furthermore an fulfills the following constraints (in addition to (14)) ... 

Second, the KMT relates the average kinetic energy of the gas particles to the Kelvin temperature. We can represent the average kinetic energy per molecule as ...
