Summary
Angewandte Chemie introduces new opinion articles to support researchers and enhance scientific discourse. Scientific Perspectives cover best practices, while Viewpoint Articles discuss the chemical community culture.
Area of Science:
- Chemistry
- Scientific Publishing
Background:
- Angewandte Chemie, supported by the German Chemical Society (GDCh), has launched new article categories.
- These aim to better support researchers and contribute to international scientific discourse.
Discussion:
- Two new opinion-based article categories have been introduced: Scientific Perspectives and Viewpoint Articles.
- Scientific Perspectives focus on outlining best practices within the chemical sciences.
- Viewpoint Articles are designed to address the culture and community aspects of chemistry.
Key Insights:
- The journal enhances its support for the scientific community through dedicated opinion pieces.
- New formats facilitate discussion on both technical best practices and community culture.
- This initiative aims to foster constructive dialogue in the global chemical sciences.
Outlook:
- These article types are expected to enrich scientific discourse and provide valuable insights for chemists.
- The initiative reflects a commitment to supporting the broader chemical community.
- Future contributions will likely address evolving best practices and cultural dynamics in chemistry.

01:32The Scientific Method
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...
01:27Elements and Compounds
Pure substances consist of only one type of matter. A pure substance can be an element or a compound. An element consists of only one type of atom, while a compound consists of two or more types of atoms held together by a chemical bond.ElementsElements are classified as atomic or molecular based on the nature of their basic units. They are unique forms of matter with specific chemical and physical properties that cannot break down into smaller substances by ordinary chemical reactions. There...
01:19Chemical Reactions
A chemical reaction is a process by which the bonds in the atoms of substances are rearranged to generate new substances. Matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction—the same type and number of atoms that make up the reactants are still present in the products. Merely, the rearrangement of chemical bonds produces new compounds.

01:32Chemiosmosis
Oxidative phosphorylation is a highly efficient process that generates large amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the basic unit of energy that drives many cellular processes. Oxidative phosphorylation involves two processes— the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.
Electron Transport Chain
The electron transport chain involves a series of protein complexes on the inner mitochondrial membrane that undergo a series of redox reactions. At the end of this chain, the electrons reduce...

01:27π Electron Effects on Chemical Shift: Overview
An applied magnetic field causes loosely bound π-electrons in organic molecules to circulate, producing a local or induced diamagnetic field over a large spatial volume. As the molecules tumble in solution, the field generated by π-electrons in spherical substituents results in a zero net field. However, the net field generated by π-electrons in non-spherical substituents is not zero. The effect of this induced field depends on the orientation of the molecule with respect to B0, resulting in...
01:27Effects of Chemicals: Overview
Drugs, encompassing various chemical compounds from natural sources, lab synthesis, or genetic engineering, elicit different biological responses in living organisms. Some of these responses are desirable or therapeutic, while others are undesirable. The primary goal of administering a drug is to achieve a therapeutic effect, that is, to address a specific disease or health condition. Any concurrent effects outside of this therapeutic outcome are considered undesirable. These undesirable...
