Meaning that the chemist doesnt expect any practical use out of his experiements, but rather that his experiments are for chemical knowledge. The knowledge gained from pure chemistry can over time be useful for something if the need arrises. There is a fine line between pure chemistry and applied chemistry, which is chemistry research that will be directly applied to something useful, like chemical engineering. It is possible to say that pure chemistry is what leads to applied chemistry in the future. Some examples of pure chemistry are, explaining why water expands when it freezes. Figuring out the conditions in which different materials burn. These are all examples of pure chemistry.
