    Magnetic contributions to heat capacities of molecule-based magnets and assembled-metal complexes are explained. Although magnetic moments of both spin and electron-orbitals are involved in the magnetic phenomena occurring in the solid state, primal role is usually played by spins. Since spin is a physical quantity definitely defined by quantum mechanics, magnetic heat capacities experimentally determined are often used as a diagnostic tool to check the validity of the theoretical treatments proposed in the field of solid state physics. Discussed in this paper are (1) low-dimensionality and dimensional-crossover encountered in molecule-based magnets and assembled-metal complexes, (2) heat capacity of single-molecule-magnet under magnetic field, (3) magnetic phase transitions due to order-disorder mechanism of spin orientation, (4) spin-crossover phenomena in which the electronic state itself is altered by temperature, (5) interplay between charge-transfer and spin-state conversion, and so on.

    Man has used some of his materials in non-equilibrium state for a long time. Glasses are typical example of substances in frozen-in disordered state which was realized by non-equilibrium processing. Thermodynamic characterization of molecular glasses was described briefly. Formation of non-crystalline solids by various kinds of non-equilibrium processing other than the traditional liquid cooling was discussed. Solid-state vitrification by mechanical milling and formation of molecular alloys for some binary systems were described with potential application to pharmaceuticals.

    Knowledge of Gibbs free energies of dissolution is needed for the borosilicate glasses used to store nuclear waste in order to model their alteration by aqueous solutions. In this paper, we first recall that, despite the fact that glasses are nonequilibrium substances, these data can be determined experimentally from a comprehensive set of measurements. Special attention is paid to configurational entropy, which cannot be determined by calorimetric methods, but has an important contribution to Gibbs free energies of formation. The results obtained for a series of simple and complex glasses are then presented. We finally discuss the composition dependence of the thermophysical properties of sodium borosilicates, whose practical importance is not restricted to the issue of nuclear waste storage.

    Chemical thermodynamics and calorimetry are strongly expected to help nano-science and nanotechnology. Thermodynamic properties of nano-materials should be characterized as functions of size and their specific structures. In the nano-world, atoms and molecules self-organize nanostructures just by thermal energy. Nanotechnology needs a theoretical guide, which describes the self-organization and nano-crystal growth in terms of chemical bonds and chemical thermodynamics. DNA network is presented as an example of nanotechnology. DNA is modified with man-made materials which provide various functions. In this example, it is emphasized again that thermodynamic comprehension is necessary to control the formation of nanostructure.
