This book extends the development of the thermodynamic theory of specific intermolecular
interactions to element-organic and specific organometallic compounds. The fundamentals of an
unconventional approach to the theory of H-bonding and specific interactions are formulated
based on a concept of pentacoordinate carbon atoms. Prof. Baev has introduced the theory
already in his successful books Specific Intermolecular Interactions of Organic Compounds and
Specific Intermolecular Interactions of Nitrogenated and Bioorganic Compounds. In this book he
also demonstrates it for element organic and specific organometallic compounds a class of
substances which is of great importance in synthetic chemistry and catalysis. Furthermore
organic compound classes that have not been treated in the previous books are included. New
types of hydrogen bonds and specific interactions are substantiated and their energies are
determined on the basis of the developed methodology. In this way the influence of the
molecular structure on the energy and on intermolecular interactions can be discussed for these
particular compound classes.
