中文简介
《当代化学》的主题对现代化学研究的现状和未来趋势进行了批判性的评述。涵盖范围包括化学科学的所有领域，包括与生物学、医学、物理学和材料科学等相关学科的接口。每个专题集的目标是使学术界或工业界的非专业读者全面了解正在出现的新研究领域，这些新研究引起了更广泛的科学读者的兴趣。专题收藏中的每一篇评论都批判性地调查了该主题的一个方面，并将其置于整个系列的上下文中。过去5至10年最重要的发展是用选定的例子来说明所讨论的原则。报道的目的不是详尽地总结这一领域或包括大量数据，而应是概念性的，集中于方法上的思考，使非专家读者能够了解所提出的资料。报告还展望了该领域未来可能的发展。
英文简介
Topics in Current Chemistry presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in modern chemical research. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine, physics and materials science. The goal of each thematic collection is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the topical collection critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the collection as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.
