Inter- and intramolecular interactions that correspond to contacts between Lewis acid and Lewis base sites are considered in this monograph. Various types of interactions are described — halogen bond, pnictogen bond, hydrogen bond, etc. — and the mechanisms of these interactions as well as accompanying phenomena are presented. While we focus mainly on the σ-hole and π-hole concepts that explain the majority of such interactions, recent ideas that the interactions may be treated as the preliminary stages of chemical reactions, as well as the notion that the formation of interactions is in agreement with the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion model, are also discussed.

The choice of the structure of this book was guided by the wish to make the different states of matter clearly understood ("Part I. From gas to liquid"), before tackling the experimental laws in solution, the solubility and the acid-base reactions’ issues ("Part II. Experimental laws in solution"). The third part (“Part III. Thermochemistry”) deals with elements of thermodynamics applied to chemical reactions. Many laws and empirical principles previously stated find their explanation in this chapter.

This novel textbook is an introduction to modern physical chemistry. Emphasis is placed on the very ideas of this science. The material is presented in a rather concise manner, but at the same time the author sought to stay up to the requirements of both the rigor of the presentation and a fairly representative amount of information.
