Aims & Scope

Chemical Physics publishes experimental and theoretical papers on all aspects of chemical physics. In this journal, experiments are related to theory, and in turn theoretical papers are related to present or future experiments. Subjects covered include: spectroscopy and molecular structure, interacting systems, relaxation phenomena, biological systems, materials, fundamental problems in molecular reactivity, molecular quantum theory and statistical mechanics. Computational chemistry studies of routine character are not appropriate for this journal.
