and the physical sciences ( Part A) were separated from the other natural sciences (Part B) from 1947. A further separation occurred in 1973 when the biological sciences were moved to a new journal ( Part C). The titles used for Part B have been: *Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. B, Anorganische, Organische und Biologische Chemie, Botanik, Zoologie und verwandte Gebiete. (1947–1961) *Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. B, Chemie, Biochemie, Biophysik, Biologie und verwandte Gebiete. (, 1962–1971) *Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. Teil B, Anorganische Chemie, Organische Chemie, Biochemie, Biophysik, Biologie. (1972) *From 1973, the part B journal was split into Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. Teil B, Anorganische Chemie, Organische Chemie (, 1973–1987) and the new part C journal ''Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. Teil C, Biochemie, Biophysik, Biologie, Virologie'', separating the chemical and biological sciences *Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. B, A Journal of Chemical Sciences. (, 1987–present)
