Beilstein Handbook of Organic Chemistry. This reference (55) is one of the most significant collections of data in organic chemistry. The physical and chemical properties of organic compounds are tabulated in more than 500 fields. Most of these fields are searchable, and a sample of the record for chlorobenzene [108-90-7] is shown in Table 3. 

Physical and Chemical Properties. The physical and chemical properties of metallic barium and its inorganic compounds have been well characterized (DOT 1986 EPA 1980a, 1984, 1985c, 1987d Hawley 1981 Hayes 1982 HSDB 1989 Kirkpatrick 1985 Kunesh 1985 Meister 1989 NIOSH/OSHA 1978 OHM/TADS 1989 Parmeggiani 1983 Perry and Chilton 1973 RTECS 1989 Sax and Lewis 1987, 1989, Sax et al. 1984 Stokinger 1981 Weast 1989 Windholz 1983). Physical and chemical properties of organic compounds of barium have not been comprehensively examined... 

A similar dependence on hybridization holds for C—C double bonds [59]. It follows as a corollary that allegedly negligible errors as large as 0.04 A are equivalent to change in hybridization of one C atom from sp3 to sp2 or from sp2 to sp1, which can be hardly characterized as insignificant. In fact, this kind of rehybridization has usually remarkable repercussion on the physical and chemical properties of organic compounds [31]. 

APPENDIX III Physical and Chemical Properties of Organic Compounds. 

Physical and Chemical Properties. As reported in Section 3.2, the relevant physical and chemical properties of cyanide compounds are known. Certain physical parameters such as octanol/water partition coefficient and soil partition coefficient that are used generally for covalently bound organic compounds to predict environmental fate and transport are neither available nor useful for most of the ionic cyanide compounds. 

The transport and partitioning of an organic compound in the environment is a function of the physical and chemical properties of that compound and the site-specific characteristics of the environment (e.g., percentage soil organic matter). Based on the environmental correlations with physical properties (Lyman et al. 1982), the physical and chemical properties of the three isomeric cresols are sufficiently similar to indicate that similar transport and partitioning processes will be... 

The stoichiometry is therefore controlled by the composition of the guest mixture. The compounds are isostructural with respect to the location of the host molecules, and the guests lie in essentially the same sites and are partially disordered. This is an important result, in that the ratio of the guests can be controlled, and this phenomenon has implications for crystal engineering. Thus, the physical and chemical properties of such compounds can be governed, and this has significance in such fields as chemical sensors, optical and electronic properties of organic crystals, as well as their thermal stabilities and kinetics of desolvation. 

To really understand organic chemistry requires three stages. First, one must familiarize oneself with the physical and chemical properties of organic chemical compounds. Then one needs to understand their reactivities and their options for reactions. Finally, one must develop the ability to design syntheses. A typical curriculum for chemistry students incorporates these three components. Introductory courses focus on compounds, a course on reaction mechanisms follows, and a course on advanced organic chemistry provides more specialized knowledge and an introduction to retrosynthesis. 

What happens to an organic compound when it is dumped into the environment Clearly, the answer depends on the physical and chemical properties of the compound. For example, a big spill of methane will not cause a water pollution problem, but a major release of DDT could cause a big problem for biota. This chapter will provide a few tools for looking quantitatively at these issues. Of necessity, we will be brief, but for a more complete coverage, the reader is referred to the massive book by Schwarzenbach et al.1... 

Although the numbers of atoms are the same, the physical and chemical properties of these compounds differ. For this reason, it is necessary to show the structures of compounds in organic chemistry. 

Information regarding the physical and chemical properties of mercury compounds is located in Table 3-2. Mercuric acetate has been included as an organic form of mercury. However, the bonds of the salt are not covalent and, in aqueous solution, the mercury behaves like an inorganic form. 

Conformational analysis is defined in a recent book by Eliel et al. (30) as an analysis of the physical and chemical properties of a compound in terms of the conformation (or conformations) of the pertinent ground states, and (in the case of spectra) excited states. For additional background see Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds by Eliel (31), Steric Effects in Organic Chemistry by Newman (32), and The Stereochemistry of Cyclohexane Derivatives by Orloff (33). 

It is often necessary in the analysis of a mixture of compounds to determine the proportions in which the constituents of the mixture are present. Many natural products used as foods or drugs, or in the manufacture of paints, dyes, etc., are mixtures in which compounds of known composition are present in varying proportions. Thus, milk contains water, fat, inorganic salts, and organic nitrogen compounds. The quantitative determination of the constituents of such mixtures is called proximate analysis. Many methods have been applied in this branch of quantitative analysis. They are based on the physical and chemical properties of the compounds which constitute the mixtures. A few typical methods are described in the chapter in which fats and oils are discussed.

The substituent. A, can be halogen, pseudohalogen, or many kinds of organic groups such as alkoxy, aryloxy, alkyl, and so forth Some can be prepared by direct synthesis and others are obtained by appropriate substitution reactions by nsing a suitable precursor. The physical and chemical properties of phosphazene compounds can be varied by choosing a wide variety of substituents.
