Physical chemistry focuses on the study of chemical systems and processes.  Physical chemists incorporate the principles of thermodynamics, kinetics, and quantum theory into their experimental approaches.  Our division members use powerful computational methods and a variety of spectroscopic methods, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, to examine the properties of both small and large molecules.
