Molecular Gravitational Field Chemistry: Theoretical Framework and Implications for Supramolecular Assembly, Crystallization, and Catalytic Selectivity
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Traditional chemical science relies heavily on electric charges, chemical bonds, and molecular orbitals, yet it systematically overlooks ultra-weak mass-energy interactions at the molecular scale. This paper establishes the comprehensive theoretical framework of Molecular Gravitational Field Chemistry (MGFC). By defining molecular mass density distributions rho(r) and gravitational potentials V_g(r) using plain text formulations, MGFC investigates how ultra-weak gravitational correlation fields and mass multipole interactions influence supramolecular assembly, crystal formation thermodynamics, and catalytic transition state selection. The mathematical framework demonstrates that while mass-field interactions are exceptionally weak compared to electrostatic forces, their non-shielded, long-range, and cooperative nature provides subtle directional biases in complex chemical and macromolecular systems, offering a novel theoretical perspective on fine structural regulation beyond traditional paradigms.
