Advances in Determining the Absolute Proton Affinities of Neutral Organic Molecules in the Gas Phase and Their Interpretation : A Theoretical Account

A magnificent edifice called acid/base chemistry is rooted in a single proton, small in size but of enormous importance. The upper floors of this building are reserved for biochemistry, while the penthouse belongs to life science. The edifice will grow into a sky scraper-like in the 21st century. Evidence provided by this Review shows that the coalescence of experimental and theoretical/computational work is not only highly desirable for that purpose, but, in fact, greatly needed.
