Scope

• The aims page opens with the joint between the two disciplines, describing a community built across the gap between chemistry and physics and celebrating what it calls connected science.宗旨页从两个学科的接缝写起，把刊物所称的「连通科学」当作社群的基础。
• Original fundamental research in physical chemistry and chemical physics forms the core of the programme, and the editors describe a thorough editorial practice as the means of publishing it.物理化学与化学物理的基础性原创研究构成收稿核心，编辑方以严谨的编审流程作为把关手段。
• Spectroscopy heads the twenty listed interests, taking in work that resolves structure and dynamics through the interaction of matter with radiation.光谱学列在 20 个兴趣方向之首，处理物质与辐射相互作用所揭示的结构与动力学问题。
• Photochemistry and femtochemistry sit next to it, both dealing with light-driven change, one on the reaction pathways of excited states and one on timescales down to the femtosecond.光化学与飞秒化学紧随其后，同样处理光驱动的变化，前者关心激发态的反应路径，后者把时间尺度压到飞秒。
• Electrochemistry covers charge transfer at interfaces, from electrode kinetics to the processes inside batteries and electrolysers.电化学覆盖界面上的电荷转移，从电极动力学一直写到电池与电解槽内部的工艺过程。
• Catalysis forms a direction of its own, spanning homogeneous, heterogeneous and biological routes to rate enhancement.催化自成一个方向，涵盖均相、多相与生物三条提速路线。
• Surface science and solid-state physics bring the behaviour of interfaces and of ordered solids into the same frame.表面科学与固态物理把界面行为与有序固体的性质放进同一个框架。
• Materials science and nanotechnology appear as separate entries, and the journal treats them as the applied end of the same physical picture.材料科学与纳米技术分列为两个条目，刊物把它们看作同一物理图景的应用端。
• Clusters and colloids are named on their own, covering the size range where molecular and bulk descriptions meet.团簇与胶体单列，覆盖分子描述与体相描述相互交接的那段尺寸区间。
• Soft matter and liquids and fluids are also separate entries, one for assembled phases and one for the bulk behaviour of the fluid state.软物质与液体及流体同样分列，前者针对组装相，后者针对流体状态的体相行为。
• Biophysics and physical biochemistry carry the physical approach into biological systems, from single molecules through to membranes.生物物理与物理生物化学把物理方法带进生物体系，尺度从单分子延伸到膜。
• Atmospheric chemistry and environmental chemistry extend the list outdoors, where reaction kinetics meets the chemistry of air and water.大气化学与环境化学把清单延伸到户外，反应动力学在那里与空气和水的化学相遇。
• Complex systems and single-molecule research close the list, one for collective behaviour and one for measurements on individual molecules.复杂体系与单分子研究收束整份清单，前者关心集体行为，后者关心对单个分子的测量。
• Research Articles carry the primary literature, and each one is expected to report original fundamental work rather than survey what is already known.研究论文承载一手文献，每篇都要报告原创的基础工作，不停留在对已知结果的综述。
• Secondary literature divides in two, with Reviews and Concepts on one side and Perspectives on the other, written to map a field and argue a position.二次文献分两类，综述与概念为一类，视角为另一类，任务在于勾勒领域并提出判断。
• On the author side the guidelines ask for IUPAC standards in structures and nomenclature, CAS abbreviations for journal titles, CrossRef checking of references and a Data Reporting Checklist with every submission.作者一侧的指南要求结构式与命名遵循 IUPAC 规范，期刊缩写采用 CAS 表，参考文献经 CrossRef 核对，并且每篇投稿都要附数据报告清单。
