About the journal
Inorganic Chemistry (ISSN 0020-1669) is published biweekly by the American Chemical Society
Inorganic Chemistry publishes fundamental studies, both experimental and theoretical, in all phases of inorganic chemistry, including the related fields of catalysis and organometallic, solid-state, and bioinorganic chemistry. Emphasis is placed on the synthesis, structure, thermodynamics, reactivity, spectroscopy, and bonding properties of significant new and known compounds.
Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts may be submitted either electronically the ACS Web submission site (http://pubs.acs.org/IC; select¡°submit manuscript¡±) or by mail on paper. The ACS Web submission site employs security mechanisms to ensure privacy of all electronically submitted manuscripts. For Web submissions, templates are provided for the preparation manuscripts, but their use is optional. All Supporting Information including X-ray, CIFs, and cited preprints must be provided at the time of Web manuscript submission. Paper submissions should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief, Richard Eisenberg, Department of Chemistry, University of Rochester, River Campus P.O. Box 270216, Rochester,NY14627-0216.For paper submissions, four copies of the manuscript Supporting Information (except for crystallographic data,where electronic submission is required; see below under Crystal Structure Studies) must be submitted. For both Web and paper submissions, an illustrated table of contents synopsis must be submitted. A signed original copyright status form must be provided for each submitted manuscript. A form is available from
Inorganic Chemistry Web site. For mailed submissions,form must be included with the manuscript package. For Web submissions, the form must be mailed to the associate editor assigned to the manuscript (name, address, and fax number of the associate editor will be provided when the manuscript is assigned). Authors must provide their e-mail addresses fax numbers. The name of the author to whom inquiries regarding the paper may be addressed should be marked an asterisk. Contributions must be original and must not have appeared elsewhere, except as a preliminary communication(reprints must accompany submission). Manuscripts accepted for publication in Inorganic Chemistry may not be republished elsewhere. Only contributions in English will be considered.
The prime criteria utilized to judge the quality of contributions will be their originality, significance, and novelty. Routine work and studies of narrow scope will not published. Fragmentation of related work is unacceptable.When a paper is suitable for consideration, the editor normally seek the advice of two or more reviewers. Authors are encouraged to suggest possible reviewers who are experts in the research area covered by the manuscript and have
professional connections with the authors. The decision accept or reject a manuscript rests solely in the hands of editor.
Notice Regarding Dates of Web Posting and Print
Edition: Documents accepted for publication inACSJournals will be posted in the World Wide Web edition of the journal as soon as they are ready for publication, that is, when galley proofs are corrected and all author concerns are resolved.This can occur from two to eleven weeks in advance of the cover date of the printed issue. Authors should take into account the dates of Web posting and print appearance when planning their intellectual and patent activities related to a document. The actual date on which the document is posted on the Web is recorded in a separate line at the bottom of the first page of the document in the printed issue.
Articles and Communications
Inorganic Chemistry publishes articles, communications, and invited award-related perspectives. Articles represent complete studies and are not restricted in length. However, authors are urged to be as concise as possible and to place in Supporting Information material that, while of importance
for practitioners in the same area, is of significantly less interest to the general reader.
Communications are reports of unusual urgency, significance,and interest originating in all areas of inorganic chemistry.Astatement from the authors describing why their manuscript meets these criteria is required. Supporting Information with additional documentation is also encouraged.
Communications that contain X-ray crystallographic information must be accompanied by full documentation to be used as Supporting Information in the editorial and review process. Communications are restricted in length to the equivalent of three journal pages. This three-page limit will be strictly followed. The ACS-provided template for a communication can help authors to determine manuscript length and may be used by them for Web submission. In all submissions, authors should present their material with utmost conciseness consistent with clarity. Introductions
should contain sufficient background material to show why the work was done and how it relates to the subject. However, extensive reviews of the literature and/or numerous general references are inappropriate. In articles, experimental results should be presented clearly and carefully in a separate section whereas in communications, complete experimental work should appear in Supporting Information. The description of experimental work must be presented accurately and in sufficient detail to allow the work to be duplicated in other laboratories.
Manuscript Preparation
The preferred arrangement for manuscripts of full articles is as follows: title page, abstract, Introduction, Experimental Section, Results, Discussion, footnotes (including both explanatory notes and literature references), tables, schemes, charts, captions for figures, figures, the table of contents synopsis, and the synopsis artwork. Footnotes consisting of explanatory notes should be kept to a minimum. Pages must be numbered consecutively, beginning with the title page and ending with the figures. Figures, tables, schemes, and charts should be numbered with Arabic numerals.
Each article must be accompanied by an informative abstract not exceeding 300 words, and each communication must be accompanied by a brief abstract not to exceed 150 words.
Table of Contents Synopsis. For all categories of papers, authors should submit, as part of the Web-submitted file or, for hardcopy submissions, on a separate sheet or sheets, a 75-word synopsis accompanied by a structural diagram or other informative illustration. Do not submit this material as Supporting Information. Synopsis artwork should be in color and designed such that, after reduction, it will fit either a 5cm *5 cm or a 12 cm * 5 cm (width* height) window.
Safety Notes. Authors must emphasize any unexpected or new hazards encountered in the reported experimental work.
Perchlorate salts of metal complexes with organic ligands are potentially explosive. In general, when noncoordinating anions are required, every attempt should be made to substitute species such as the fluoro sulfonates for the perchlorates.
Authors must place a cautionary note regarding perchlorate complexes or other highly energetic materials known to be potentially hazardous, and reference to pertinent documentation.
Nomenclature. It is the responsibility of the authors to provide correct nomenclature. All nomenclature must be consistent and unambiguous and should conform with current American usage. Insofar as possible, authors should use systematic names similar to those used by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), and the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Chemical Abstracts nomenclature rules are described in Appendix IV of the Chemical Abstracts Index Guide. A list of ring systems, including names and numbering systems, is found in the Ring Systems Handbook, American Chemical Society, Columbus, OH, 1993, and its latest cumulative
supplement.
Characterization of New Compounds. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction results are not, in general, acceptable as the only means of characterization of new compounds. Compounds
must also be characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods appropriate for the particular sample or compound. Methods may include elemental analysis to demonstrate bulk composition, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and electronic spectroscopy. Footnotes. References to the literature and all explanatory notes should be numbered in one consecutive series. Footnote numbers in the text should be entered as superscripts, and footnotes should be listed at the end of the text. Journal abbreviations must conform to those used in the Chemical Abstracts SerVice Source Index. The following format for journals (1) and books (2) must be used: (1) Doe, J. S.; Smith, J.; Roe, P. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1968,90, 8234-8241. (2) Smith, A. B. Textbook of Chemistry; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 1972.
Multiple references, preferably related and identified by letters, may be given under a single citation number. The accuracy of the references is the responsibility of the author. It is important to recognize that subscribers to the Web edition of the journal are now able to click on the ¡°CAS¡±
tag following each reference to retrieve the corresponding CAS abstract. This valuable feature makes the accuracy of references particularly critical. Tables. Tables should be used only if they present information more effectively and more efficiently than running text. If possible, they should occupy a single journal column (8.5 cm). Column heads should be as small as possible.
Columns should not contain only one or two entries, nor should the same entry be repeated numerous times.
Illustrations. Remove all color from graphics, except for those graphics that you would like to have considered for publication in color (see Color section below for details). For papers submitted via the Web, insert illustrations into the manuscript following the Web instructions for manuscript preparation. See http://pubs.acs.org for additional guidance. For papers submitted in hardcopy, artwork may be submitted as separate graphics files or as hardcopy originals. Please
note that even if graphics files are submitted, good quality, hardcopy original figures are still required.
Graphics submitted digitally should have the following minimum resolution requirements:
black and white line art 1200 dpi
grayscale art 600 dpi
color art 300 dpi
The graphics files should be saved as TIFF images.
For hardcopy illustrations, contrast is important. Print the graphics on a high-resolution laser printer using dark black ink and smooth, opaque white paper. Whether you submit via the Web or in hardcopy, the quality of the illustrations in your paper depends on the quality of the artwork originals you provided. Figures cannot be modified or enhanced by the journal production staff.
Illustrations must fit a one- or two-column format on the journal page. For efficient use of journal space, singlecolumn illustrations are preferred. For best results, submit illustrations in the actual size at which they should appear in the journal. Original illustrations which do not need to be reduced to fit a single or double column will yield the best quality. Lettering should be no smaller than 4.5 points.
(Helvetica or Arial type works well for lettering.) Lines should be no thinner than 0.5 point. Lettering and lines should be of uniform density. If you must submit artwork that requires reduction, use larger lettering and thicker lines so that, when reduced, the artwork meets the above-mentioned criteria.
Avoid using complex textures and shading to achieve a threedimensional effect. Submit only original artwork or high-quality photographic or xerographic prints of originals; inferior photocopies do not reproduce well. Photographs. High-contrast prints with a smooth or glossy
minimum Double10.5 cm (4.13 in.)
maximum Single (preferred)8.25 cm (3.25 in.) ,Double17.78 cm (7 in.)
Maximum depth Single (preferred)24 cm (9.5 in.), Double24 cm (9.5 in.)
Photographs. High-contrast prints with a smooth or glossy finish work best. Send photographs that are single- or doublecolumn width so that they will not require reduction. Do not write on the front or back of the image area of the photograph. These marks may show through when the photograph is scanned. Color. Color reproduction, if approved by the editor, will be provided at no cost to the author. Color photographs and artwork should be submitted if their use greatly increases the clarity of communication.Asurcharge of $100 per 100 reprints will be added to the standard cost of reprints. Do not submit color files or prints to be printed in black and white.
Chemical Structures. Structures should be produced with the use of a drawing program such as ChemDraw. Authors using the current versions of ChemDraw, ChemIntosh, and ChemWindows will find the necessary parameters incorporated into these programs (¡°JOC document¡± under the
Windows menus for ChemDraw and ¡°Reduce 60% for JOC Style¡± under the Options menu for ChemIntosh/ChemWindows). In ChemDraw version 4.5, files should be saved in TIF format to allow use of electronic files in production (see journal home page ¡°info for authors¡± for further guidelines). Authors using older versions of ChemDraw should use the following procedures. (1) As drawing settings select the following: chain angle, 120¡ã; bond spacing, 18% of width; fixed length, 14.4 pt (0.508 cm, 0.2 in.); bold width, 2.0 pt (0.071 cm, 0.0278 in.); line width, 0.6 pt (0.021 cm, 0.0083 in.); margin width, 1.6 pt (0.056 cm, 0.0222 in.); hash spacing, 2.5 pt (0.088 cm, 0.0345 in.). (2) As text settings select the following: font, Arial/Helvetica; size, 10 pt. (3) Under the preferences choose the following: units, points; tolerances, 3 pixels. (4) Under page setup use: Paper: US Letter; Scale: 100%. Authors using other drawing packages should, insofar as possible, modify their program¡¯s parameters so that they reflect the above guidelines.
Supporting Information. Supporting Information such as extensive tables, graphs, spectra, detailed descriptions of experimental procedures, and calculations will be included in the Web edition of the journal and must accompany the manuscript for review purposes. Supporting Information must
be single-spaced on 22 [1] 28 cm paper, and all pages must be numbered consecutively starting with page S1. Do not number title and contents pages; they are not archived in Supporting Information. The availability of Supporting Information should be noted at the end of the text by adding the following paragraph: ¡°Supporting Information Available: Listings of yyyyyy identify as, e.g., kinetic data, anisotropic thermal parameters, molar magnetic susceptibility vs temperature data, etc.). This material is available free of charge via the Internet at http://pubs.acs.org.¡±
Referenced work that is in press or has been submitted for publication must be submitted as Supporting Information for review purposes only. If the manuscript submission is in paper form, four copies of each preprint should be provided.
Revised Manuscripts. A manuscript returned to an author for revision must be returned to the editor within 90 days for an article and 60 days for a communication. Twoor more copies of the revised manuscript will be requested by the editor depending on changes needed. If a revised manuscript cannot be returned within the allotted time, the editor should be contacted. Failure to do so will result in the inactivation of the manuscript. Handwritten additions and corrections will not be accepted. Authors should send a detailed reply to the comments of the reviewers and identify all changes in the margins of one of the revised copies of the manuscript. Revisions of inactivated manuscripts must be sent as new submissions to Professor Richard Eisenberg,
Editor-in-Chief.
Proofs and Reprints. Manuscripts will be edited in accord with the recommendations of The ACS Style Guide (1997), available from Oxford University Press, Order Department, 201 Evans Road, Cary,NC27513. Galley proofs, the original manuscript, and a reprint order form will be made available to the author electronically via the Web, or by specific request of the author, by regular mail (which increases the time from acceptance to ASAP posting). Changes should be kept to minimum and should be entered on the proof, not on manuscript, if a hardcopy proof is returned. If changes returned electronically, all changes must be listed with their locations clearly identified. Extensive changes are subject editorial review. Proofs should be checked carefully and returned as soon as possible, for no paper is released for Web ASAP or printing until the author¡¯s proof has been received.
Please return your reprint order form, along with the purchase order or check, using the enclosed envelope addressed Cadmus Professional Communications. Reprints will shipped within two weeks after the printed journal date. Corresponding authors will receive 50 free electronic reprints
via an Electronic Reprint URL.
Structure Reports (A) Crystal Structure Studies A checklist for authors derived from recommendations of The Commission on Crystallographic Data of the International Union of Crystallography (Acta Crystallogr. 1967, 22, 445) is available from the Inorganic Chemistry Web site and any editorial office. Authors should consult this checklist (revised 2001) before preparing manuscripts for submission. Not all data requested for review will be shown in the printed text.
This applies both to reports in which the structure study is the main thrust of the work (full structure report) and to those in which such a study plays only a supporting role (abbreviated
structure report). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction results are not, in general, acceptable as the only means of characterization of new compounds. See the statement under Characterization of New Compounds given above. If electronic spectral data are employed to relate the bulk and crystallographic samples, extinction coefficients should be provided. It is possible that syntheses will occasionally produce a material which cannot be reliably analyzed, gives uninformative IR and electronic spectra, and presents no definitive NMR data because of paramagnetism or dynamic exchange processes. Cases of this sort might be acceptable if the author clearly delineates the limitations of the available data. (1) Structure Reports in Articles. (a) Experimental Section. Every effort should be made to minimize the quantity of tabular material appearing in the printed text. The collection of data and refinement of the structure are usually routine, and a concise description can be accomplished with a brief written description and a table containing crystallographic parameters and data collection and refinement information described below. (b) Tabular Material. An abbreviated table containing unit cell constants, space group information, Z, data collection and refinement parameters, and final agreement factors must be present for the print version of the manuscript. In addition, important bond lengths and angles (with esd¡¯s) should be supplied in tabular form for the printed text. Inorganic Chemistry does not publish refined positional parameters in the printed text except in cases where such information is essential to the clarity of the manuscript. However, complete tables of refined position coordinates as well as anisotropic thermal parameters and complete tabulations of bond lengths and angles are required in Supporting Information. Authors must submit their crystallographic data at the time of manuscript submission using the crystallographic information file (CIF) format (see part d below).
(c) Figures. Drawings of crystal or molecular structures should be made with the noncrystallographer in mind. For structures refined anisotropically, ellipsoid plots are preferred to ball-and-stick drawings. Stereoscopic pairs of perspective drawings and unit cell and packing diagrams should be deposited as Supporting Information unless they contribute directly to the discussion. (d) Deposited Data. Supplementary X-ray data submitted in CIF format will appear in the Supporting Information section of the manuscript. Material to be deposited: complete information on collection of data and refinement of the structure in tabular form; final values of all refined atomic coordinates (with esd¡¯s) including all calculated atomic coordinates (especially calculated positions for hydrogen atoms and positions of atoms calculated from refinement of rigid groups); all anisotropic thermal parameters, which should be provided asUij¡¯s or Bij¡¯s rather than ‚ij¡¯s; all bond lengths and angles; when relevant, least-squares planes and atomic deviations thereform; closest intermolecular contacts including, if relevant, details of intermolecular hydrogen bonding or other packing interactions; and unit cell and packing diagrams (optional if no unusual intermolecular contacts exist) stylized to emphasize packing information and drawn with
right-handed axes. A suitable paragraph should appear at the end of the printed text enumerating the contents of the Supporting Information. Authors are required to provide crystallographic data in the crystallographic information file (CIF) format at the time of manuscript submission. Because of anticipated changes in the submission of CIF, additional details on the preparation,validation, and submission of this material are available fromthe journal home page (http://pubs.acs.org/IC). Please read this information while preparing your manuscript. Reviewers
will have access via the World Wide Web to an
electronic copy of the CIF(s) associated with a manuscript. After review and acceptance, the CIF will become part of the general Supporting Information and will be available free of charge at http://pubs.acs.org. Structure factor tables are not longer required for deposit but may be requested by the editor to assist reViewers. Inorganic Chemistry discourages the submission of crystallographic Supporting Information in hardcopy format. If, however, a CIF is not readily available for a structure under review, four copies of Supporting Information must be submitted along with the manuscript.(2) Abbreviated Structure Reports in Communications and Articles. In a communication or in the case where a structure study plays a supporting role in a full paper devoted to another principal objective, a good molecular or unit cell diagram should appear as a figure. A brief summary of unit cell constants and data collection and refinement information should be given in a footnote, while selected distances and angles should be placed in the figure caption or a short table. All other information that would be included in a structure report should be in Supporting Information, deposited as a CIF. (B) Powder Diffraction Data The presentation of X-ray powder diffraction data for new materials or for materials previously uncharacterized by this technique is encouraged. Data from X-ray powder measurements should be accompanied by details of the experimental technique: source of X-rays, the radiation, its wavelength, filters or monochromators, camera diameter, the type of X-ray recording, and the technique for measuring intensities. In cases of unindexed listing of the data, the d spacings of all observed lines should be listed in sequence, together with their relative intensities. In cases where filtered radiation is used, every effort should be made to identify residual ‚ lines. Where resolution intoR1-R2 doublets occurs, the identification of the d spacing for each line as dR1, dR2 gives a measure of the quality of the diffraction pattern. When an indexing of the data is offered, the observed and calculated 1/d2 values should be listed along with the observed relative intensities (it is superfluous to give d spacings in this instance). All calculated 1/d2 values should be listed (exclusive of systematic absences), to the limit of the data quoted. If possible, the crystal system should be specified. Possible space groups may also be listed if the data warrant it. Relevant information about the specimen used should be included. (C) Corrections Errors discoVered in published structure reports should be communicated directly to the corresponding author of the work. The editor should be kept informed by a copy of such correspondence. Upon verifying the error, the author or authors should submit a suitable correction to the editor without delay, carrying an acknowledgment of the colleagues who brought the matter to their attention. Computational Reports With great advances in computational facilities and the availability of electronic structure codes (particularly DFT), there has been a significant increase in the number of computational papers being submitted to Inorganic Chemistry. In addition to computational competence (level of theory, basis sets, etc.), for a manuscript to be appropriate for publication in Inorganic Chemistry it must be strongly correlated to experimental data, address problems of broad interest to the inorganic community, and provide significant chemical insight. Comparison of methods, studies of various levels of theory, basis set effects, etc. are considered to be technically oriented (C) Corrections Errors discoVered in published structure reports should be communicated directly to the corresponding author of the work.

Comparison of methods, studies of various levels of theory, basis set effects, etc. are considered to be technically oriented Magnetic Measurements Fits of magnetic data such as ¯(T), ¯-1(T), ¯T(T), Ì(T), M(H), etc. to an analytical expression must include both the
Hamiltonian from which the analytical expression is derived and the final analytical expression and fitting parameters. When the value of an exchange coupling constant, J, is given in the abstract, the form of the Hamiltonian must also be included. The expressions may be included in the manuscript or, if long and complex, as Supporting Information; if the latter method is used, it should be noted as such in the ¡°Supporting Information Available¡± paragraph at the end of the manuscript. In addition, how the sample was measured (in a gelatin capsule, Teflon capsule, etc.) and the diamagnetic correction for the sample holder, as well as the diamagnetic correction for the material, must be provided and the manner in which it was calculated (Pascal¡¯s constants) or measured stated.
Electronic Submission of Accepted Manuscripts The final accepted version of the manuscript (except for Web submissions) should be submitted in hardcopy form in duplicate and in electronic form on disk. Accepted manuscripts not received in electronic form may face delay in publication.
Manuscripts prepared with the software packages listed below will be used for production, provided that the following guidelines are adhered to. Failure to adhere to the following instructions may prevent all or part of the material supplied on disk from being used in production. The version of the manuscript on disk must match exactly the final version accepted in hardcopy format. Page layout and graphic (figure) placement instructions should not be included in the manuscript, and each graphic (figure) should be provided as a separate TIFF file. Authors are urged to generate the two print copies to be provided from the electronic copy on disk to ensure that the two versions are identical. When assembling the final version of a manuscript, authors should use the document mode or its equivalent in the wordprocessing program; i.e., do not save files in ¡°Text Only¡± (ASCII) mode. If a non-Western version of the wordprocessing software was used to prepare the manuscript, save the file in rich-text format (RTF). Do not include any pagelayout instructions such as placement information for graphics in the file. The text should be left justified, and automatic end-of-line hyphenation should be turned off. Use carriage returns only to end headings and paragraphs, not to break lines of text. Do not insert spaces before punctuation.
References must conform to the format printed in the journal (Vide supra). Ensure that all characters are correctly represente throughout the manuscript: for example, 1 (one) and l (ell), 0 (zero) andO(oh), x (ex) and[1](times sign). Check the final copy carefully for consistent notation and correct spelling.
