Abstract
Peter Politzer (1937–2022) grew up with no doubt in his mind that he would pursue a career in chemistry. His research interests ranged from theoretical concepts such as electronegativity and chemical hardness to applications of electrostatic potentials and average local ionization energies to molecular interactive behavior and bonding, as well as to the study of chemical reactions and the reaction force in a variety of disciplines, including energetic materials. He will be remembered as a world-renowned leader in halogen bonding and other σ-hole bonding interactions and other areas of theoretical and computational chemistry, with over 520 research publications in scientific journals and books, leaving quite a legacy, with a marked tendency toward simplicity.
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.
