Preface

摘要

2017 is the 7~(th) year of Current Physical Chemistry. In the January issue of volume 7, issue 1, we initiate with a review article (Editor's Choice) on the use of semiempirical methods for studying atomic kinetic energies of hydrogen bonded systems by Finkelstein and Moreh. This article is followed by 6 research articles. Sharma, Majumder, Dewan and Ram present their work on the characterization of LiMnPO4 nanoplates; Ajeeel, Khuodhair and Abdul Almohsin present a theoretical density functional theory investigation of the optoelectronic properties of organic molecules; Yildiz, Ikikardeslaer, Bildik and Senkal present a voltametric method to determine the bisphenol content in polycarbonate utensils; Na?t-Tahar and Didi present cloud point method to extract uranyl ions; Yerneni, Cholkar, Guin, Nayak, Ananda and Gowda present their proposed mechanism of the kinetics of palladium (II) catalyzed oxidation of glycine by ferricyanide; and finally Mazurkiewicz, Koloczek and Tomasik present a theoretical work on the effects of external electric fields on the structures and presumably chemical reactivity of lipid molecules. We thank these authors for submitting their fine works for publication in CPC and the anonymous referees for the time they have devoted to review these works.
