Introduction

Physical chemistry examines chemical systems through principles derived from thermodynamics, kinetics, molecular science, spectroscopy, quantum chemistry, and related physical methods. Research involving organic solid-state systems addresses the properties and behaviour of molecular substances in condensed phases, including aspects of crystallinity, molecular organization, intermolecular interactions, phase behaviour, and solid-form characterization. Within this broader scientific context, a researcher’s publication and citation record can provide measurable evidence of scholarly activity and dissemination.

The supplied profile for Gerard Coquerel identifies the University of Rouen Normandy as the institutional affiliation and Organic Solid State as the principal subject area. The Scopus author record associated with Author ID 7003518477 lists 271 documents, 4,962 citations, and an h-index of 35 in the information provided for this article. [1]

Research Profile

The research profile represented on this page is centred on organic solid-state science. This field considers how molecular structure, intermolecular forces, crystallization behaviour, polymorphism, and solid-form properties influence the physical and chemical characteristics of organic compounds. Such research can involve experimental characterization, crystallographic investigation, thermodynamic analysis, spectroscopy, and complementary approaches used to understand molecular organization in solid materials.

The bibliometric indicators supplied for Gerard Coquerel indicate a substantial indexed publication record. The profile contains 271 documents and 4,962 citations, with an h-index of 35. [1] Bibliometric indicators are quantitative measures and should be interpreted alongside the subject area, publication context, authorship patterns, and the scope and quality of individual research contributions.

Research Contributions

Research in organic solid-state chemistry can contribute to the understanding of molecular solids by examining relationships between molecular structure and macroscopic solid-state behaviour. Areas of relevance include the characterization of crystalline phases, investigation of molecular packing, study of polymorphic forms, and analysis of physical properties that arise from intermolecular organization.
