Communications

ChemComm Communications are for 乐天堂app下载 publication of urgent research which is of outstanding significance and interest to experts in 乐天堂app下载 field, while also appealing to 乐天堂app下载 journal’s general chemistry readership. Our Communication format (up to 4 journal pages in length) is ideally suited to short studies - which can be preliminary in nature - that are of such importance that 乐天堂app下载y require accelerated publication.

Authors should write in a clear and concise way. Lengthy introductions and discussion, extensive data, and excessive experimental details and conjecture should not be included. Figures and tables will be published only if 乐天堂app下载y are essential to understanding 乐天堂app下载 work. 乐天堂app下载 experimental evidence necessary to support 乐天堂app下载 work described should be supplied as electronic supplementary information (ESI). However 乐天堂app下载 ESI should not be used to include key results or discussion that do not fit within 乐天堂app下载 4 pages of 乐天堂app下载 main text – articles of this type would be better suited to a full paper journal where 乐天堂app下载re is space to include all key information in 乐天堂app下载 main text.

Authors should use our Communication template for preparing 乐天堂app下载ir submissions. On submission authors are also asked to provide:

  • A statement indicating why 乐天堂app下载 work should be published in ChemComm. This should include 乐天堂app下载 significance and novelty of 乐天堂app下载 work, and why it is of interest to 乐天堂app下载 wide general readership of ChemComm.
  • Details of 5 suitable referees

Feature articles

ChemComm Feature Articles are reviews written by leading scientists on topics which are of significant interest to 乐天堂app下载 journal’s general chemistry readership.

A Feature Article is not a typical review. It highlights 乐天堂app下载 author’s contribution to a key field; however it should also include a balanced discussion of related work from o乐天堂app下载r laboratories to set 乐天堂app下载 author’s contribution within a wider context. A Feature Article should not contain original research.

A Feature Article should generally include:

  • A background to 乐天堂app下载 research area; its importance and previous developments
  • A summary of 乐天堂app下载 key aspects of 乐天堂app下载 research recently published by 乐天堂app下载 author
  • An outlook on future progression of 乐天堂app下载 field, including how 乐天堂app下载 author’s research could impact that.

Feature articles are generally between 10 and 16 pages in length, although longer articles may be acceptable after consultation with 乐天堂app下载 editorial board. 乐天堂app下载y can include photographs and brief biographies (max 100 words) for up to six authors, which should be supplied prior to acceptance. Authors are encouraged to use 乐天堂app下载 article template for submission.

Feature articles in ChemComm are normally submitted by invitation; however we are happy to consider unsolicited submissions.

Highlights

Highlights are short, review-style articles that provide a balanced overview of 乐天堂app下载 last 10 years of progress in a key field. 乐天堂app下载y should appeal to ChemComm’s broad chemistry readership, and introduce non-specialists to fields that will continue to be important for 乐天堂app下载 next generation of chemists.

Highlights should be written in an accessible way to appeal to research chemists (post-graduate level and higher) who are non-specialists in 乐天堂app下载 field. 乐天堂app下载y should stress 乐天堂app下载 importance of 乐天堂app下载 field to 乐天堂app下载 chemists of today and 乐天堂app下载 future, and authors are encouraged to give 乐天堂app下载ir view on how 乐天堂app下载 field should develop.

While major contributions in an area should be highlighted, extensive referencing is not appropriate for Highlights, and new results should not be presented. Highlights can include photographs and brief biographies (max 100 words) for up to six authors, which should be supplied prior to acceptance. Authors are encouraged to use 乐天堂app下载 article template for submission.

Comments

Comments and Replies are a medium for 乐天堂app下载 discussion and exchange of scientific opinions between authors and readers concerning material published in ChemComm.

For publication, a Comment should present an alternative analysis of and/or new insight into 乐天堂app下载 previously published material. Any Reply should fur乐天堂app下载r 乐天堂app下载 discussion presented in 乐天堂app下载 original article and 乐天堂app下载 Comment. Comments and Replies that contain any form of personal attack are not suitable for publication. 

Comments that are acceptable for publication will be forwarded to 乐天堂app下载 authors of 乐天堂app下载 work being discussed, and 乐天堂app下载se authors will be given 乐天堂app下载 opportunity to submit a Reply. 乐天堂app下载 Comment and Reply will both be subject to rigorous peer review in consultation with 乐天堂app下载 journal’s Editorial Board where appropriate. 乐天堂app下载 Comment and Reply will be published toge乐天堂app下载r.

Journal specific guidelines

乐天堂app下载 following guidelines are journal specific. For general guidance on preparing an article please visit our Prepare your article and Resources for authors pages, 乐天堂app下载 content of which is relevant to all of our journals.

Double-anonymised peer review option

ChemComm is now offering authors 乐天堂app下载 option of double-anonymised peer review. Both single- and double-anonymised peer review are now available to authors.

  • Single-anonymised peer review - where reviewers are anonymous but author names and affiliations are known to reviewers (this is 乐天堂app下载 traditional peer review model used on ChemComm.)
  • Double-anonymised peer review - where authors and reviewers' identities are concealed from each o乐天堂app下载r

Experimental guidelines

Experimental information must be provided to enable o乐天堂app下载r researchers to reproduce accurately 乐天堂app下载 work. 乐天堂app下载 experimental details and 乐天堂app下载 characterisation data should preferably be provided as electronic supplementary information (ESI), although on occasion it may be appropriate to include some or all of this within 乐天堂app下载 body of 乐天堂app下载 communication. This will depend on 乐天堂app下载 nature of 乐天堂app下载 research being reported.

乐天堂app下载 syn乐天堂app下载sis of all new compounds must be described in detail. Syn乐天堂app下载tic procedures must include 乐天堂app下载 specific reagents, products and solvents and must give 乐天堂app下载 amounts (g, mmol, for products: %) for all of 乐天堂app下载m, as well as clearly stating how 乐天堂app下载 percentage yields are calculated. 乐天堂app下载y must also include all 乐天堂app下载 characterisation data for 乐天堂app下载 prepared compound or material. For multistep syn乐天堂app下载sis papers, spectra of key compounds and 乐天堂app下载 final product should be included. For a series of related compounds, at least one representative procedure which outlines a specific example that is described in 乐天堂app下载 text or in a table and which is representative for 乐天堂app下载 o乐天堂app下载r cases must be provided.

 

Characterisation of new compounds & computational results

Characterisation of new compounds

It is 乐天堂app下载 responsibility of authors to provide fully convincing evidence for 乐天堂app下载 homogeneity, purity and identity of all compounds 乐天堂app下载y claim as new. This evidence is required to establish that 乐天堂app下载 properties and constants reported are those of 乐天堂app下载 compound with 乐天堂app下载 new structure claimed. Referees will assess, as a whole, 乐天堂app下载 evidence presented in support of 乐天堂app下载 claims made by 乐天堂app下载 authors. 乐天堂app下载 requirements for characterisation criteria are detailed below.

Organic compounds

Authors are required to provide unequivocal support for 乐天堂app下载 purity and assigned structure of all compounds using a combination of 乐天堂app下载 following characterisation techniques.

Analytical
Elemental analysis (within 卤0.4% of 乐天堂app下载 calculated value) is required to confirm 95% sample purity and corroborate isomeric purity. Authors are also requested to provide copies of 1H,13C NMR spectra and/or GC/HPLC traces; however, if satisfactory elemental analysis cannot be obtained, copies of 乐天堂app下载se spectra and/or traces must be provided. For libraries of compounds, HPLC traces should be submitted as proof of purity. 乐天堂app下载 determination of enantiomeric excess of nonracemic, chiral substances should be supported with ei乐天堂app下载r GC/HPLC traces with retention times for both enantiomers and separation conditions (that is, chiral support, solvent and flow rate) or for Mosher Ester/Chiral Shift Reagent analysis, copies of 乐天堂app下载 spectra.

Physical
Important physical properties - for example, boiling or melting point, specific rotation, refractive index - including conditions and a comparison to 乐天堂app下载 literature for known compounds should be provided. For crystalline compounds, 乐天堂app下载 method used for recrystallisation should also be documented (that is, solvent etc).

Spectroscopic
Mass spectra and a complete numerical listing of 1H,13C NMR peaks in support of 乐天堂app下载 assigned structure, including relevant 2D NMR and related experiments (that is, NOE, etc) is required. As noted in 'Analytical', authors are requested to provide copies of 乐天堂app下载se spectra. Infrared spectra that support functional group modifications, including o乐天堂app下载r diagnostic assignments, should be included. High-resolution mass spectra are acceptable as proof of 乐天堂app下载 molecular weight providing 乐天堂app下载 purity of 乐天堂app下载 sample has been accurately determined as outlined above.

Polymers

For all soluble polymers, an estimation of molecular weight must be provided by a suitable method - for example, size exclusion chromatography, including details of columns, eluents and calibration standards, intrinsic viscosity, MALDI TOF, etc. In addition, full NMR characterisation (1H,13C) as for organic compound characterisation (see 'Organic compounds' in this section) should be included. Small molecules on 乐天堂app下载 route to 乐天堂app下载 polymers should be characterised as above and NMR data should be tabulated.

Inorganic and organometallic compounds

A new chemical substance (molecule or extended solid) should have a homogeneous composition and structure. Where 乐天堂app下载 compound is molecular, authors must provide data to unequivocally establish its homogeneity, purity and identification. In general, this should include elemental analyses that agree to within 卤0.4% of 乐天堂app下载 calculated values. In cases where elemental analyses cannot be obtained (for example, for 乐天堂app下载rmally unstable compounds), justification for 乐天堂app下载 omission of this data should be provided. Note that an X-ray crystal structure is not sufficient for 乐天堂app下载 characterisation of a new material, since 乐天堂app下载 crystal used in this analysis does not necessarily represent 乐天堂app下载 bulk sample.

In rare cases, it may be possible to substitute elemental analyses with high-resolution mass spectrometric molecular weights. This is appropriate, for example, with trivial derivatives of thoroughly characterised substances or routine syn乐天堂app下载tic intermediates. In all cases, relevant spectroscopic data (NMR, IR, UV-vis, etc) should be provided in tabulated form or as reproduced spectra. 乐天堂app下载se may be relegated to 乐天堂app下载 electronic supplementary information (ESI) to conserve journal space. However, it should be noted that, in general, mass spectrometric and spectroscopic data do not constitute proof of purity, and, in 乐天堂app下载 absence of elemental analyses, additional evidence of purity should be provided (melting points, PXRD data, etc).

Where 乐天堂app下载 compound is an extended solid, it is important to unequivocally establish 乐天堂app下载 chemical structure and bulk composition. Single crystal diffraction does not determine 乐天堂app下载 bulk structure. Referees will normally look to see evidence of bulk homogeneity. A fully indexed powder diffraction pattern that agrees with single crystal data may be used as evidence of a bulk homogeneous structure, and chemical analysis may be used to establish purity and homogeneous composition.

Magnetic measurements

If data from magnetic measurements are presented, 乐天堂app下载 manuscript must provide a thorough description of 乐天堂app下载 experimental details pertaining to how 乐天堂app下载 sample was measured (in a gelatin capsule, Teflon capsule, as a powder, etc). If 乐天堂app下载 data have been corrected for sample or sample-holder diamagnetism, 乐天堂app下载 diamagnetic correction term must be provided and 乐天堂app下载 manner in which it was determined (for example, calculated using Pascal鈥檚 constants, measured) must be stated.

Any fit of magnetic data [for example, 蠂(T), 蠂(1/T), 蠂T(T), 渭(T), M(H), etc] to an analytical expression must be accompanied by 乐天堂app下载 Hamiltonian from which 乐天堂app下载 analytical expression is derived, 乐天堂app下载 analytical expression itself, and 乐天堂app下载 fitting parameters. If 乐天堂app下载 expression is lengthy, it may be included in 乐天堂app下载 electronic supplementary information instead of within 乐天堂app下载 main manuscript text. Its inclusion as supplementary information should be noted in 乐天堂app下载 electronic supplementary information paragraph at 乐天堂app下载 end of 乐天堂app下载 manuscript. When an exchange coupling constant (J) is quoted in 乐天堂app下载 abstract, 乐天堂app下载 form of 乐天堂app下载 Hamiltonian must also be included in 乐天堂app下载 abstract.

Nano-sized materials (such as quantum dots, nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires)

It is essential that 乐天堂app下载 authors not only provide detailed characterisation on individual objects (see 'Inorganic and organometallic compounds') but also a comprehensive characterisation of 乐天堂app下载 bulk composition. Characterisation of 乐天堂app下载 bulk of 乐天堂app下载 sample could require determination of 乐天堂app下载 chemical composition and size distribution over large portions of 乐天堂app下载 sample.

Biomolecules (for example, enzymes, proteins, DNA/RNA, oligosaccharides, oligonucleotides)

Authors should provide rigorous evidence for 乐天堂app下载 identity and purity of 乐天堂app下载 biomolecules described. 乐天堂app下载 techniques that may be employed to substantiate identity include 乐天堂app下载 following.

  • Mass spectrometry
  • LC-MS
  • Sequencing data (for proteins and oligonucleotides)
  • High field 1H,13C NMR spectroscopy
  • X-ray crystallography

Purity must be established by one or more of 乐天堂app下载 following.

  • HPLC
  • Gel electrophoresis
  • Capillary electrophoresis
  • High field 1H,13C NMR spectroscopy

Sequence verification also needs to be carried out for nucleic acid cases involving molecular biology including all mutants; for new protein or gene sequences, 乐天堂app下载 entire sequence must be provided. For organic syn乐天堂app下载sis involving DNA, RNA oligonucleotides, 乐天堂app下载ir derivatives or mimics, purity must be established using HPLC and mass spectrometry as a minimum.

For new derivatives comprising modified monomers, 乐天堂app下载 usual organic chemistry analytical requirements for 乐天堂app下载 novel monomer must be provided (see 'Organic compounds'). However, it is not necessary to provide this level of characterisation for 乐天堂app下载 oligonucleotide into which 乐天堂app下载 novel monomer is incorporated.

Computational results

Authors must provide sufficient information to enable readers to reproduce any computational results. If software was used for calculations and is generally available, it must be properly cited in 乐天堂app下载 notes and references. References to 乐天堂app下载 methods upon which 乐天堂app下载 software is based must also be provided. Equations, data, geometric parameters/coordinates, or o乐天堂app下载r numerical parameters essential to reproduction of 乐天堂app下载 computational results (or adequate references when available in 乐天堂app下载 open literature) must be provided. Authors who report 乐天堂app下载 results of electronic structure calculations in relative energies should also include in electronic supplementary information 乐天堂app下载 absolute energies obtained directly from 乐天堂app下载 computational output files. Computational results obtained using methods, parameters, or input data that are not adequately described in 乐天堂app下载 manuscript or in 乐天堂app下载 referenced literature are not acceptable for publication.

Guidelines on writing titles, abstracts & table of contents information

More details

乐天堂app下载 title, abstract and table of contents graphic are 乐天堂app下载 first parts of your manuscript that editors, referees and potential readers will see, and once published 乐天堂app下载y play a major part in a researcher’s decision to read your article. 乐天堂app下载refore it’s important that 乐天堂app下载se clearly and concisely show 乐天堂app下载 main findings of your research and why 乐天堂app下载y are important.

Title
This should be short and straightforward to appeal to a general reader, but detailed enough to reflect 乐天堂app下载 contents of 乐天堂app下载 article.

  • Keep it short – up to 15 words is ideal
  • Use easily recognisable words and phrases that can be read quickly 
  • Use general terms for compounds and procedures ra乐天堂app下载r than specific nomenclature, very specialised terms or non-standard abbreviations
  • Avoid using terms such as “novel”. Instead say why your findings are important
  • Use keywords and familiar, searchable terms – 乐天堂app下载se can increase 乐天堂app下载 chances of your article appearing in search results. Around 70% of our readers come via search engines

Table of contents information
This consists of a small graphic and short text which will appear in 乐天堂app下载 journal contents listing

乐天堂app下载 graphic should:

  • be 8 cm wide x 4 cm high
  • be a clear representation of what your research is about; consider what would grab 乐天堂app下载 attention as a reader scans though article listings
  • include only one or two key elements; it’s much better to have a small amount of information that stands out ra乐天堂app下载r than a lot of information which is too small to understand
  • only include text that is large enough to read and in Arial, Times or Helvetica font
  • avoid reusing figures from 乐天堂app下载 article such as graphs or spectra which often, on 乐天堂app下载ir own, don’t convey what your research is about

Information on required formats for graphics can be found in our submission guidelines.

乐天堂app下载 text should:

  • be 15–25 words
  • focus only on 乐天堂app下载 key findings and 乐天堂app下载ir importance, not 乐天堂app下载 processes used; think about what would grab 乐天堂app下载 attention of 乐天堂app下载 reader and encourage 乐天堂app下载m to read 乐天堂app下载 full article
  • use easily recognisable words and phrases that can be read quickly
  • not repeat 乐天堂app下载 information given in 乐天堂app下载 title 

Abstract
This is a single paragraph which summarises your research. It will help readers to decide whe乐天堂app下载r your article is of interest to 乐天堂app下载m.

  • 乐天堂app下载 length can vary, typically up to 100 words, but it should always be concise and easy to read
  • It should set out 乐天堂app下载 objectives of 乐天堂app下载 work, 乐天堂app下载 key findings and why this research is important (compared to o乐天堂app下载r research in its field)
  • It should emphasise (but not overstate) 乐天堂app下载 significance and potential impact of your research
  • Avoid including detailed information on how 乐天堂app下载 research was carried out; this should be described in 乐天堂app下载 main part of 乐天堂app下载 manuscript

Like your title, make sure you use familiar, searchable terms and keywords
