Initial commentary refers to the stressful emergence of physical organic chemistry as a post-WWII interdisciplinary field benefitting greatly from instrument development. Design of a simple solution calorimeter in the author’s laboratory allowed the measurement of solvent-solute interactions over the entire range from weak hydrogen bonding to heats of formation of simple carbocations in superacids or of simple, reactive carbanions in superbases.
