We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed collection Challenges in spectroscopy: accuracy vs interpretation from isolated molecules to condensed phases is now online and free to access until 15 April 2019.
Guest-edited by Cristina Puzzarini (Università di Bologna), Maria J. Ramos (Universidade do Porto) and Maria Pilar de Lara-Castells (CSIC Madrid), the special issue is a collection of the latest research outcomes in the modelling of spectroscopic properties of chemical systems spanning from isolated molecules to condensed phases, with particular focus on accuracy and interpretative capabilities of computational methodologies and the interplay of experiment and theory.
It includes:
