In 1752, the concept of "physical chemistry" was Russia Scientist Romonsonov St. Petersburg University It was first proposed in A Course in True Physical Chemistry.
It is generally believed that the formal formation of physical chemistry as a discipline began in 1887 when German chemist Ostwald and Netherlands chemist Vantov It started with the first issue of the Journal of Physical Chemistry. From this period to the early 20th century, physical chemistry Chemical thermodynamics It is characterized by its vigorous development.
First law of thermodynamics and The second law of thermodynamics It is widely used in the study of various chemical systems, especially solution systems. Gibbs pair Polyphase equilibrium The study of the system and the study of the chemical equilibrium by Vantov, proposed by Arenius Ionization theory Nernst The discovery of heat theorem is an important contribution to chemical thermodynamics.
When Louis proposed to deal with the non ideal system in 1906 Fugacity and activity After the concepts and their determination methods, all the bases of chemical thermodynamics have been prepared. Laue and Bragg's creative research on X-ray crystal structure analysis is a classic Crystallography Towards modern times Crystallization chemistry And laid the foundation for its development. Arenius on Chemistry Reaction activation energy The concept of, and Bodenstein and Nernst about chain reaction The concept of chemical kinetics Has also made important contributions to its development.
In the 1920s and 1940s Structural chemistry In the leading development period, the physical chemistry research at this time has gone deep into the microscopic atomic and molecular world, changing the ignorance of the complexity of the internal structure of molecules.
In 1926, quantum mechanics The rise of research has not only set off a climax in physics, but also has a great impact on physical chemistry research. Especially in 1927, Heitler And London's quantum mechanical treatment of the hydrogen molecule problem, shared by Louis in 1916 Electron pair Of Valence bond The concept provides a theoretical basis. In 1931, Pauline and Slater put this processing method Promote to others Diatomic molecule and Polyatomic molecule , formed Chemical bond The valence bond method of. In 1932, Maliken When dealing with the problem of hydrogen molecule, Hong De physical model , using different heuristics wave function , thus developing molecular orbital method.
Valence bond method and Molecular orbital method Has become modern Chemical bond theory The foundation of. Proposed by Bao Lin et al Track hybridization Law and hydrogen bond and Electronegativity The concepts of structural chemistry have also played an important role in the development of structural chemistry. During this period, other branches of physical chemistry were more or less micro colored, such as those developed by Hinshelwood and Semyonov Free radical Chain type reaction kinetics Debye and Huckel Of Strong electrolyte The theory of mutual absorption of ions, and electrochemistry in Electrode process Research progress—— Hydrogen overvoltage Theory.
the Second World War During the late 1960s, physical chemistry experimental study Means and measuring technique In particular, it is characterized by the rapid development of various spectroscopic technologies and the fruitful results resulting therefrom.
Electronics high vacuum and computer technology The rapid development of physical chemistry not only makes the traditional experimental methods and measurement techniques of physical chemistry Accuracy Precision and time resolution It has been greatly improved, and many new spectroscopic techniques have emerged. spectroscopy With the continuous improvement of time resolution, self-control and recording means of other spectroscopy, the research object of physical chemistry is beyond ground state Stabilizing molecules and starting to enter various excited state Research field of.
photochemistry First of all, great progress has been made, because spectral research has clarified the essence of the preliminary photochemical process, and promoted the research on various chemistry reaction mechanism Research. These fast and sensitive detection methods can find Reaction process Appears in transient Intermediate product , so that the reaction mechanism is no longer just from the reaction rate equation A conclusion based on conjecture. These detection methods have also greatly promoted the development of chemical kinetics.
Advanced instruments, equipment and detection means also greatly shorten the time for determining the structure, making crystal chemistry Biomacromolecule crystal structure Major breakthroughs have been made in this regard, penicillin Vitamin B12 protein insulin Structure determination and Deoxyribonucleic acid Of Spirochete The determination of configuration was successful. Electron spectroscopy The appearance of the new technology has enabled the research of structural chemistry to shift from the bulk phase of objects to the surface phase, which is a powerful new technology for solid surfaces and catalysts research method
In the 1960s, Laser The invention and continuous improvement of laser technology. Large capacity high-speed electronics computer The appearance of, and weak signal detection The invention of means is pregnant with new growing point The birth of.
Since the 1970s, Molecular reaction dynamics Laser chemistry And surface structure chemistry represent the frontier of physical chemistry. The research object is from general Bonding Molecular expansion to quasi bonded molecules Van der Waals Molecules Atomic cluster , molecular clusters and Non stoichiometric compounds In the experiment, it can not only control the "C" degree and pressure of the chemical reaction, but also reactant Inside the molecule quantum state , Energy and Spatial orientation Exercise control.
In terms of theoretical research Large electronic computer Accelerated quantum chemistry Development in quantitative calculation. For many chemical systems, Schrodinger equation It is no longer expected but inextricable. Kenichi Fukui The frontier orbit theory proposed and Woodward And Hoffman Conservation principle of molecular orbital symmetry The establishment of quantum chemistry is an important development.
Physical chemistry is still absorbing the research results of physics and mathematics, for example, in the early 1970s, Prigokin And so on Dissipative structure theory , make Nonequilibrium state The theoretical research has made gratifying progress and deepened people's understanding of the stability of systems far from equilibrium.
The development history of physical chemistry in China in 1949 The People's Republic of China was founded Is the boundary, which can be roughly divided into Two stages In the 1930s and 1940s, although the material conditions were weak, the older generation of physical chemists not only focused on chemical thermodynamics electrochemistry Colloid and surface chemistry, molecular spectroscopy X-ray crystallography quantum chemistry They have made considerable achievements and trained many talents in physical chemistry.
After 1949, after decades of efforts, physical chemistry teaching and research sections were set up in various colleges and universities to train talents. At the same time, relevant research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Key institutions of higher learning A physical chemistry laboratory has been set up, which focuses on structural chemistry, quantum chemistry, catalysis, electrochemistry Molecular reaction dynamics And other aspects have made gratifying achievements.

In terms of theoretical research Large electronic computer and numerical method The extensive application of quantum chemistry has expanded the ability of quantum chemistry in quantitative calculation. The research object not only involves macromolecule It can also be used to simulate the dynamic process of complex systems. Kenichi Fukui Proposed frontier orbital And R B. Woodward And R. Hoffman Conservation principle of molecular orbital symmetry It is an important theoretical achievement when quantum chemistry is applied to specific chemical systems. However, the level of solving and understanding all chemical problems based on quantum chemistry has not been reached as expected. The close combination of the basic principles of quantum mechanics and chemical experiments will help solve this problem. To this end, we will develop new methods that can be applied to complex molecular systems Quantum chemical calculation method Is one of the prerequisites for achieving the above goals. So W. Cohen density functional theory And J. Popper obtained the Nobel Prize in Chemistry [2]
