This brief introduces readers to an alternative thermochemical
reference system that makes it possible to use the heats of
formation of organic compounds to deduce the energies that depend
entirely on their structures, and which provides calculated values
for most of the characteristic structures appearing in organic
molecules. These structure-dependent energies are provided e.g. for
selected compounds of normal and cyclic alkanes, open chain and
cyclic olefins (including conjugated polyenes), alkynes, aromatic
hydrocarbons and their substituted derivatives. The oxygen, sulfur
and nitrogen derivatives of the above-mentioned compounds are also
represented with calculated structure-dependent energies including
alcohols, ethers, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids, thiols,
sulfides, amines, amides, heterocyclic compounds and others. Most
organic reactions can be interpreted as the disappearance of
certain structures and formation of others. If the
structure-dependent energies are known, it can be shown how the
disappearing and the newly formed structures contribute to the heat
of reactions and to the driving forces. As experienced by the
author, who pioneered the concept, structure dependent energies can
help teachers to make organic chemistry more accessible for their
students. Accordingly, the brief offers a valuable resource for all
those who teach organic chemistry at universities, and for those
who are learning it.
