The book explores the influence of structure and mechanism principles in chemistry, particularly through coordination chemistry and the donor-acceptor approach. It offers a unified view of molecular forces based on quantum mechanics, classifying them into various types, including covalent and metallic bonds. While it aims to provide systematic analysis, it acknowledges the limitations in making quantitative predictions for large systems. The author proposes an extension of the donor-acceptor concept to better account for changes in molecular environments and the positions of nuclei, moving beyond traditional models.
