Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry: 4th Edition, Abridged Version

The first IUPAC Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units was published in 1969 to secure clarity and precision in the use of symbols by chemists, physicists, engineers, and editors of scientific journals. Subsequent revisions have taken account of many developments in the field and have been expanded and improved in presentation. This abridged version of the 4th edition reflects the experience of contributors and users and provides a compilation of generally used terms and symbols with brief definitions and explanations. It is particularly intended for students and teachers but should also be useful for scientists, science publishers, and organizations working across a multitude of disciplines requiring internationally approved terminology in the area of Physical Chemistry.

The first IUPAC Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units was published in 1969 with the noble objective of securing clarity and precision, as well as fostering wider agreement in the use of symbols among chemists across different countries, physicists, chemists, and engineers, and editors of scientific journals. Subsequent revisions have taken into account numerous advancements in the field and have been significantly expanded and improved in presentation in several new editions of what is now widely recognized as the 'Green Book of IUPAC.' This abridged version of the forthcoming 4th edition reflects the collective experience of the contributors and users of the previous editions. The book has been meticulously updated to provide a comprehensive compilation of commonly used terms and symbols, accompanied by concise and understandable definitions and explanations. Tables of important fundamental constants and conversion factors have also been included. In this abridged guide, the more specialized and complex material has been omitted, while retaining the essence of the Green Book. It is particularly designed to be suitable for students and teachers, but it should also be valuable for scientists, science publishers, and organizations working across a diverse range of disciplines that require internationally approved terminology in the field of Physical Chemistry. It now includes the most up-to-date definitions and constants in accordance with the 'new SI,' as established by agreement on the International System of Units in Paris in 2019. It is anticipated that this guide will find widespread acceptance and utilization for the best practices in science and technology.
