《纯粹与应用化学》（Pure and Applied Chemistry，缩写为 PAC）是国际纯粹与应用化学联合会（IUPAC）的官方月度学术期刊。Pure and Applied Chemistry (abbreviated as PAC) is the official monthly academic journal of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
该期刊发表化学领域的推荐命名法、术语定义、技术报告以及来自 IUPAC 赞助学术会议的精选论文。The journal publishes IUPAC recommendations on nomenclature, terminology definitions, technical reports, and selected papers from IUPAC-sponsored conferences.
《纯粹与应用化学》的主要出版范围涵盖 IUPAC 各委员会批准的正式建议与技术报告。The primary scope of Pure and Applied Chemistry covers formal recommendations and technical reports approved by IUPAC divisions and committees.
这些建议确立了国际通用的化学命名规则、物理量符号、术语定义以及标准原子量等参考数据。These recommendations establish internationally accepted chemical nomenclature, symbols for physical quantities, terminology definitions, and reference data such as standard atomic weights.
此外，该期刊还定期刊登在 IUPAC 主办或赞助的国际学术研讨会上发表的主旨演讲及特邀专题论文。In addition, the journal regularly publishes keynote lectures and invited topical papers presented at IUPAC-organized or sponsored international symposia.
期刊涵盖了化学的所有核心分支及其与材料科学、生命科学和环境科学等相关交叉领域的应用。It spans all core branches of chemistry as well as interdisciplinary applications in materials science, life sciences, and environmental science.
《纯粹与应用化学》创刊于1960年，最初由巴特沃思出版社（Butterworths）代表 IUPAC 出版。Pure and Applied Chemistry was established in 1960 and was originally published by Butterworths on behalf of IUPAC.
该期刊的设立旨在为 IUPAC 的标准建议提供一个统一且具有权威性的文献记录渠道。The journal was established to provide a unified and authoritative record for IUPAC's standardized recommendations.
创刊初期，该刊由维克多·戈德（Victor Gold）担任第一任科学编辑。During its initial years, Victor Gold served as the journal's first Scientific Editor.
随后，出版业务先后由布莱克威尔科学出版公司（Blackwell Science）以及 IUPAC 自主机构负责运营。Subsequently, publishing operations were handled by Blackwell Science and later directly by IUPAC itself.
自2014年起，IUPAC 与德国学术出版机构德古意特（De Gruyter）展开合作，由其负责该期刊的印刷与数字发行。Since 2014, IUPAC has partnered with the academic publisher De Gruyter to manage the printing and digital distribution of the journal.
《纯粹与应用化学》由 IUPAC 任命的科学编辑与专业编委会共同领导。Pure and Applied Chemistry is led by a Scientific Editor and an expert editorial advisory board appointed by IUPAC.
著名化学家休·伯罗斯（Hugh D. Burrows）长期担任该期刊的科学编辑，负责稿件学术质量与标准的把关。Distinguished chemist Hugh D. Burrows has served as the long-standing Scientific Editor of the journal, overseeing academic quality and peer-review standards.
该刊编委会成员由国际知名的化学专家组成，他们负责协调来自 IUPAC 各个专门委员会的同行评议流程。The editorial board comprises internationally recognized chemical scientists who coordinate the peer-review process alongside IUPAC's specialized divisions.
编辑团队还直接参与《国际纯粹与应用化学联合会颜色书》（IUPAC Color Books）相关标准草案的审核与修订工作。The editorial team also actively participates in reviewing and refining draft standards associated with the IUPAC Color Books.
