WikiProject Physical Chemical is a daughter WikiProject of the WikiProject on Chemistry. The objective is to better organize information in articles related to Physical chemistry, and the overlap with Chemical physics.

Scope[edit]

The Physical Chemistry WikiProject is about combining and coordinating the many efforts to improve all articles pertaining to physical chemistry and related subjects, by providing standards and guide where practical. This includes all chemical topics related to thermodynamics, equilibrium, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, reaction kinetics and reaction dynamics. While Chemical Physics is the concern of the WikiProject Physics, this project is concerned with assisting to coordinate and remove overlap between similar articles written by chemists and physicists.

Related WikiProjects[edit]

The parent of this WikiProject is WikiProject Chemistry.
A strongly related project is WikiProject Physics.
Strong cooperation is expected with WikiProject Spectroscopy.

Initial tasks[edit]

Key articles

Identify the key articles that provide entry into other articles and work to improve them. These articles would obviously include:

Physical chemistry

and:

and we may need to write some more key entry articles. Please add more to this list.

Publications and journals

Expand List of scientific journals in chemistry and write articles for the entries on physical chemistry journals.
Add significant publications to List of important publications in chemistry in the sub-sections of:

Physical chemistry

Thermochemistry

Electrochemistry

Theoretical chemistry

Quantum chemistry

Computational Chemistry

Combinatorial chemistry

Populate the now vacant section in List of important publications in physics on Chemical physics
Add articles that would be added to Category:Chemistry books

People

Add entries to Physical chemistry#Important physical chemists and List of chemists; and articles on these people.
Check Category:Physical chemists

Assessment of articles
