His scientific interests lie mostly in Infrared, Photochemistry, Hydrogen bond, Analytical chemistry and Matrix isolation. His study in Infrared is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular physics, Naphthalene and Molecular vibration. His studies in Photochemistry integrate themes in fields like Molecule, Solid nitrogen, Nitrogen and Matrix.
His Hydrogen bond research incorporates elements of Crystallography, Frequency shift, Standard enthalpy of formation and Atomic physics. The concepts of his Analytical chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Dye laser and Dichroism. His study focuses on the intersection of Halogen bond and fields such as Spin isomers of hydrogen with connections in the field of Chemical bond.
George C. Pimentel mainly focuses on Photochemistry, Infrared, Infrared spectroscopy, Analytical chemistry and Photodissociation. His research in Photochemistry intersects with topics in Chemical reaction, Excited state, Molecule, Matrix isolation and Radical.
