《物理化學學報》成立于1985年，由中國化學學會和北京大學主辦，北京大學化學與分子工程學院主辦。1997年以來，《物理化學學報》已在美國科學院（ISI）收錄。《物理化學學報》致力于向物理化學家、生物物理化學家和材料物理化學家報告新的和原始的實驗和理論基礎研究。基本上報告數據、數據應用或文獻綜述的手稿不適合發表在《物理化學學報》上。

Acta Physico-Chimica Sinica, founded in 1985, is sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society and Peking University, and organized by the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, PekingUniversity. Since 1997, Acta Physico-Chimica Sinica has been indexed in SCI of ISI (US).Acta Physico-Chimica Sinica is devoted to reporting new and original experimental and theoretical basic research of interest to physical chemists, biophysical chemists, and material physical chemists. Manuscripts that are essentially reporting data, applications of data, or reviews of the literature are not suitable for publication in Acta Physico-Chimica Sinica.
