3.7 Physical chemistry
In its contemporary definition, physical chemistry is the application of the laws,
principles and experimental techniques of physics to chemical problems. Physical
chemistry thus covers an extremely wide range of topics and overlaps strongly with
modern nanoscience and molecular physics. In the present evaluation of Finnish
chemistry, the panel has evaluated physical chemistry topics ranging from relativistic
theoretical chemistry and quantum simulations of liquids to the chemistry of printing
and wood. Thus, physical chemistry encompasses everything from the study of a
single isolated molecule to the complex macromolecular interactions taking place in
the extraction and refining of biomaterials from wood materials. As theoretical
chemistry in Finland is described separately, we will here focus on experimental
physical chemistry in Finland.
Physical chemistry in Finland is in general at a very high scientific level, in
