The Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie is a specialist journal for physical chemistry that was founded in 1887 by Wilhelm Ostwald and Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff as a journal for physical chemistry, stoichiometry and kinship theory .

In 1928 the title was shortened to journal for physical chemistry and a new numbering of the volume was established.

In 1954 the magazine was divided into a West German edition (Akademische Verlagsanstalt Frankfurt, later sold to Oldenbourg-Verlag and taken over by de Gruyter in 2013) and an East German edition. The numbering has been redefined again.

The West German edition with the English subtitle International journal of research in physical chemistry and chemical physics has been published since 1979 and publishes specialist articles in German and English.

In 2014, the journal for physical chemistry had an impact factor of 1.356. In the statistics of the Science Citation Index , the journal was ranked 101st out of 139 journals in the category "physical chemistry". In 2017 the impact factor fell further to 1,144.
