There are greater intermolecular forces between the long chains compared with smaller simple molecules. This means that polymers have a higher melting point than many other organic molecules ...

The force between molecules deposited on a surface during the growth of an organic film is usually attractive. But for certain metal phthalocyanine molecules, this force can change with ...

Three-dimensional (3D) force maps were acquired over planar organic molecules that bore a striking resemblance to the classic textbook ‘ball-and-stick’ models.

Boiling point for compounds tends to increase with molecular size due to increasing intermolecular forces. When comparing molecules of the same size, the type of intermolecular forces present need ...
