We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed issue Benchmark Experiments for Numerical Quantum Chemistry is now online and free to access until the end of January 2024.

Benchmarking is a core activity in the development of quantum chemical methods. This is something which is recognized across the different fields of application but the scope of benchmarking and the processes behind it are often times a matter of discussion.

Guest Edited by Ricardo Mata (University of Göttingen), Martin Suhm (University of Göttingen) and Anne Zehnacker (University of Paris – Saclay), this collection is dedicated to the different facets of experimental benchmarking activities and their consequences for quantum chemical predictions.
