摘要：Between mathematics, the deductive science par excellence, and chemistry, which has long been the epitome of the experimental laboratory science, the epistemological differences can hardly be overestimated. The first part of this special issue on 'Mathematics and Chemistry' (HYLE, vol. 18, no. 1) has focused on general aspects and the early history of their relationships, the methodological barriers as well as various attempts at mathematizing chemis-try. The present part is devoted to the institutionalization of that relationship in the form of the discipline of mathematical chemistry, both as a distinctive field of study and a scientific community that emerged in the second half of the 20thcentury. We are delighted to present five contributions from leading members of mathema tical chemistry, of which some were indeed extremely influential in establishing and shaping that discipline
