Abstract
A nonanalytical procedure is proposed to calculate the surface area and cross-sectional areas of molecules. Results are reviewed for about 70 species comprising alkanes, acyclic and cyclic, alkyl halides, and alcohols. By regression analysis, relationships are detected between surface areas or segment areas and physical properties. Computed cross-sectional areas are confronted with adsorption values. Four ways are proposed to define quantitatively the intuitive notion of «molecular globularity».Keywords
