The purpose of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds is to provide an international and interdisciplinary forum for all aspects of research related to polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC). Topics range from fundamental research in chemistry (including synthetic and theoretical chemistry) and physics (including astrophysics), as well as thermodynamics, spectroscopy, analytical methods, and biology to applied studies in environmental science, biochemistry, toxicology, and industry. Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds has an outstanding Editorial Board and offers a rapid and efficient peer review process, as well as a flexible open access policy.

多環芳烴化合物的目的是為多環芳烴研究的各個方面提供一個國際性和跨學科的論壇。課程包括化學基礎研究（包括合成化學和理論化學）和物理學（包括天體物理學），以及熱力學、光譜學、分析方法和生物學，以及環境科學、生物化學、毒理學和工業的應用研究。多環芳香族化合物有一個優秀的編輯委員會，提供了一個快速和有效的同行審查過程，以及靈活的開放訪問政策。
