This Virtual Special Issue will highlight the latest discoveries and advances in this exciting field across a wide range of topic areas. Submit your manuscript by July 12, 2024.
Chemical transformations have long been a focus of physical chemistry—whether initiated by heat, light, or electrons. Today, climate change has focused a lens on the study of such transformations. Studies range from analyzing aerosols in the atmosphere, to elucidating the mechanisms behind energy conversion and storage technologies.
In parallel, ultrafast probes of chemical transformations have continued to advance. Researchers are developing new ways to combine ultrafast probes with in-situ reactions, in the gas or condensed phase. Other advancements include the development of probes that reach the attosecond time domain, spectroscopies that are multidimensional, and ultrafast pulses in the X-ray regions. To highlight recent advances in the field, ACS Physical Chemistry Au is launching a Virtual Special Issue on Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Chemical Transformations.
This Virtual Special Issue will feature Articles, Letters, Reviews or Perspectives on all topics related to ultrafast spectroscopy of chemical transformations, including (but not limited to):
- Developments in ultrafast probes of chemical transformations
- Applications of ultrafast probes to the study of our atmosphere
- Application of ultrafast probes to the study of catalysts and energy materials
