Abstract
The Front Cover illustrates a new computational method that partitions vibrational thermal energy across individual chemical bonds. This approach offers a novel alternative to traditional statistical mechanics based on vibrational partition functions, enabling localized insight into thermodynamic behavior across chemical space and advancing the interpretation of vibrational contributions to energy. More information can be found in the Research Article by B. Zulueta and J. A. Keith (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202500085). Background image: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI.
期刊介绍:
ChemPhysChem is one of the leading chemistry/physics interdisciplinary journals (ISI Impact Factor 2018: 3.077) for physical chemistry and chemical physics. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemPhysChem is an international source for important primary and critical secondary information across the whole field of physical chemistry and chemical physics. It integrates this wide and flourishing field ranging from Solid State and Soft-Matter Research, Electro- and Photochemistry, Femtochemistry and Nanotechnology, Complex Systems, Single-Molecule Research, Clusters and Colloids, Catalysis and Surface Science, Biophysics and Physical Biochemistry, Atmospheric and Environmental Chemistry, and many more topics. ChemPhysChem is peer-reviewed.
