Abstract

Simple group contribution approaches have been developed to estimate the boiling point and melting point of rigid organic molecules based on their chemical structures. The boiling point estimation requires only additive constitutive properties, whereas melting point prediction employs additive constitutive properties and symmetry. The effects of intramolecular hydrogen bonding and the presence of ortho substituents in biphenyls on the boiling and melting temperatures are discussed.
