摘要
物理化学是创始于１９世纪末的一门重要的化学分支学科。以奥斯特瓦尔德、范·托夫、阿累尼乌斯为核心的莱比锡学派，摆脱注重有机化学的时尚，以物理学理论和方法来研究化学现象。他们各自的工作相对独立，但所取得的咸果互为补充，因而形成了一个完整的理论体系，共同在化学与物理学的交界处开辟了一个新的领域──物理化学。而三位化学家经历和科学信仰上的相似、性格上的迥然不同，以及他们对物理、数学和实验的态度，都对物理化学的建立和发展起了重要作用。
As an important branch of chemistry, physical chemistry was established inthe late nineteenth century. Having freed themselves from the main current of paying attention to organic chemistry,leaders of the Leipzig school Wilhelm Ostwald, Jacobus Hendricus Van't Hoff and Svante Arrhenius studied chemical reaction by physics theories and methods. They worked independently, but their achievements were complementary to one another. So they created a complete theoretical system──physical chemistry, a new field bordering on chemistry and physics. Their attitudes towards physics, mathematics and experimentwere unlike those of other contemporary chemists. The three chemists with similar experiences, scientific beliefs and utterly different dispositions played a major role in the establishment and development of physical chemistry.
