Abstract
The year 1874 is considered to be the birth of stereochemistry when the third dimension in describing and discussing structures in chemistry was first introduced. Stereochemistry and structural chemistry are closely related though they are not each other’s synonyms. Structural chemistry implies greater emphasis on metrical aspects and stereochemistry on shape, symmetry, and chirality. We review some of the nodal points in the early development of stereochemistry.
期刊介绍:
Structural Chemistry is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original research papers that cover the condensed and gaseous states of matter and involve numerous techniques for the determination of structure and energetics, their results, and the conclusions derived from these studies. The journal overcomes the unnatural separation in the current literature among the areas of structure determination, energetics, and applications, as well as builds a bridge to other chemical disciplines. Ist comprehensive coverage encompasses broad discussion of results, observation of relationships among various properties, and the description and application of structure and energy information in all domains of chemistry.
We welcome the broadest range of accounts of research in structural chemistry involving the discussion of methodologies and structures,experimental, theoretical, and computational, and their combinations. We encourage discussions of structural information collected for their chemicaland biological significance.
