Chemiechimie
Chemiechimie is a term occasionally encountered in German- and Dutch-language scholarly writing to denote a branch of chemistry that emphasizes the mechanisms and fundamental interactions underlying chemical processes. In contemporary use, the term is not widely standardized and is largely historical or regional; most modern texts simply refer to chemistry or physical chemistry. When defined, chemiechimie is described as the study of reaction pathways, energy landscapes, and the interplay of structure and reactivity, often bridging theoretical chemistry, spectroscopy, and experimental kinetics.
