Comment: "I selected this because of the first reference and the context of matériaux organiques as the first item when used with chimie fine. the two terms are elective specializations at the engineering school. Fine chemistry could work too, I think... This was a 50-50 solution"

David Sirett
: I would suggest that "fine chemistry" is relatively little used in 'native', rather than translated, English, that "fine chemicals" is much more widely used, and that some other term which presently escapes me would probably be best in this context!

after a little detective work, it appears organic chemistry and 'la chimie fine' both work mainly in the area of perfumes, drugs, dyes, pigments etc.
Fine chemicals is used fairly often, but fine chemistry is used mainly in translation, unless preceded by organic. Further, most UK based university courses make no mention to 'fine chemistry'.
