Structure-property correlations

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011502",
  "term": "Structure-property correlations",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Relationships that describe how the chemical structure of a substance influences its physical, chemical, or biological properties. These correlations are used to predict properties of new compounds or to design materials with specific characteristics without extensive experimental testing. Quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR) employ mathematical models to establish these links.",
