"The term 'physical organic chemistry', a term coined by Louis Hammett in 1940..."
This subfield studies the chemistry of carbon-containing compounds and their reactions.
Bonding Theory: Bonding theory in Physics and Physical Organic Chemistry refers to the study of the forces and interactions that hold atoms or molecules together, explaining the formation, stability, and properties of chemical bonds.
Acid-Base Theory: Acid-Base Theory studies the properties, behavior, and reactions of acids and bases in chemical systems emphasizing the transfer of protons (H+) between species.
Stereochemistry: Stereochemistry is the study of the three-dimensional spatial arrangement of atoms and molecules and its impact on their chemical properties and reactions.
Molecular Interactions: Molecular interactions involve the attractive or repulsive forces between individual molecules that determine their behavior and properties in Physics and Physical Organic Chemistry.
Reaction Mechanisms: Reaction mechanisms refer to the detailed step-by-step processes that explain how chemical reactions occur at the molecular level.
Organic Spectroscopy: Organic spectroscopy involves the study of the interaction of organic compounds with electromagnetic radiation to determine their structure and properties.
Kinetics and Thermodynamics: Kinetics deals with the rates of chemical reactions and the factors that influence them, while thermodynamics focuses on the overall energy changes and stability of a system.
Organic Synthesis: Organic Synthesis involves the design and construction of complex organic compounds through the manipulation of chemical reactions.
Computational Chemistry: Computational Chemistry is the use of computer algorithms and modeling techniques to study the properties and behavior of molecules, reactions, and materials.
Supramolecular Chemistry: Supramolecular Chemistry is the study of non-covalent interactions, molecular recognition, and the assembling of molecules into larger, organized structures.
Photochemistry: Photochemistry is the study of chemical reactions and transformations that are triggered by or involve the absorption of light.
Polymer Chemistry: Polymer chemistry is the study of large molecules formed through the reaction of repeating subunits, focusing on their synthesis, structure, properties, and applications.
Organometallic Chemistry: Organometallic Chemistry is the study of compounds containing direct bonds between carbon and a metal atom, focusing on their synthesis, structure, properties, and reactivity.
Bioorganic Chemistry: Bioorganic chemistry is the study of the chemical processes and molecules involved in biological systems, with a focus on understanding the structure, function, and reactivity of biomolecules.
Nanomaterials: Nanomaterials are materials with controlled properties at the nanometer scale, exhibiting unique physical and chemical characteristics.
Mechanistic Studies: This type of Physical Organic Chemistry deals with the understanding of chemical reactions' fundamental mechanisms.
Kinetics: This sub-discipline studies the rate at which chemical reactions occur and the factors that affect the reaction rate.
Photochemistry: This sub-discipline studies the interaction between light and matter, specifically the absorption and emission of light by molecules.
Solvent Effects: This sub-discipline studies how solvents affect the properties and behavior of chemical reactions and molecules.
Molecular Modeling: This sub-discipline uses computers to model and simulate molecular systems, thus aiding in the understanding and prediction of chemical behavior.
Spectroscopy: This sub-discipline studies how electromagnetic radiation interacts with matter, providing information about a molecule's properties and structure.
Catalysis: This sub-discipline studies the process of accelerating a chemical reaction's rate through the use of a catalyst, which is a substance that increases the reaction rate without itself getting consumed.
