Abstract
It is always promising and enticing to start a new editorial task in the scientific arena and the launch of the Chemistry Central Journal is no exception. The different thematic sections making up this journal are quite representative of the whole chemistry enterprise. However, one of them has a special relevance. In fact, Chemical Physics (CP) is the most general and it embodies a wide diversity of issues. Of particular importance at the launch of this groundbreaking new journal is the confidence of the Section Editor in BioMed Central (owners of Chemistry Central) as publishers, and from Chemistry Central to its Editorial Board. I feel deeply grateful for this new assignment and I hope to be able to perform a thorough job in editing this section. Below, I make my request to you as potential authors and reviewers.

Summary
Perhaps it is tempting to try to give an embracing definition of CP. there is no well-defined set of subject matter that constitutes CP, and any attempt to give a description of the subject in terms comparable with those used to define Organic or Inorganic Chemistry would only be misleading. The accurate description of electron orbitals in molecules presents difficulties with the computer time depending on the number of basis functions used to describe an electron (NA), because such dependency is of the NA4 type Another good news have arisen since a recently developed density fitting procedure has reduced this dependence to NA [13]. Another advance that improves the accuracy of the calculations is the explicit inclusion of the interelectronic distance in the wave functions used in these approaches [14] These three fundamental computational developments allow accurate quantum chemistry to be extended to molecular systems with many more atoms than was possible previously.
