3.1 Organisation of Material
(a) Various templates for manuscript preparation are available at www.rsc.org/is/journals/templates/templates.htm
(b) Manuscripts submitted by post (where electronic submission is not possible) should be prepared in double-line spacing, on single sides of paper, with margins at the top, bottom and left-hand side of at least 4 cm. Pages should be numbered sequentially.
(c) The first page should be set out as follows:
(i) Name and address of the author to whom the proofs and correspondence should be sent.
(ii) Title of the paper, with a capital initial letter only.
(iii) Authors names, including at least one forename or initial for each author; an asterisk should follow the name of the author who is to receive correspondence. An e-mail address may be included at the end of the address of the author who is to receive correspondence.
(iv) The address where the work was carried out; if this is different from the current address of any author wishing to deal with correspondence a footnote indicating the present address of this author should be included. For multiple authors at different locations italic superior letters (a,b,c .?? following the asterisk if present) should be used to identify addresses.
(v) Abstract, followed by a horizontal line, in double-line spacing.
(d) Suitable headings and sub-headings should be used in the main text as appropriate (except for Communications in which no headings are used).
(e) Bibliographic references, or Notes and references, should be numbered serially in the text by means of superscript arabic numerals. Authors are encouraged to check the RSC Reviews web site to ensure that they have cited relevant recent reviews: www.rsc.org/reviews
(f) Notes and references should follow the main text and should have the following format:
1 R. M. Barrer and R. J. B. Craven, Proteins at interfaces and in emulsions stability, rheology and interactions, J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans., 1998, 12, 1657?669.
2 R. M. Barrer and R. J. B. Craven, in New Developments in Zeolite Science and Technology, ed. Y. Murakame, A. Iijima and J. W. Ward, Kodansha, Tokyo, 1986, p. 521.
3 The more commonly used reduced temperature scale (T/TNI in K) gives similar results.
(g) Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI).
(h) Tables should be prepared on separate pages at the end of the manuscript.
(i) Diagrams should be provided on separate pages at the end of the manuscript and accompanied by a separately typed set of captions. Text and diagrams should not be combined.
(j) Revised manuscripts should be submitted in electronic form and be accompanied by a hard copy only if sent by post. The guidelines for submission of files for proof preparation are given in Section 3.5
(k) Communications should include brief details of key experiments (with amounts of reagents used) but more extensive supporting data are not required; these can be provided as supplementary information to assist referees in their assessment of the work.
(l) A illustrated, graphical contents entry is also required. The format incorporates, where possible, a small graphic (maximum size 9 cm in width ?4 cm in depth) and/or one sentence of text, which expands upon the title. Each entry should be presented in such a way as to encourage further perusal of the article, by highlighting the novelty and main feature(s) of interest; excessive lists of results and, in particular, cumbersome formulae should therefore be avoided. A text entry for the contents should also be included, and this should not exceed two brief sentences.
3.2 Artwork Guidelines
Please supply graphics in TIFF or EPS format, at a resolution of 600 dpi.
All formulae and figures should be clear and in the case of figures, provided with captions, listed on a separate page. Illustrations should be prepared for a single (83 mm) or double column (171 mm) width. Single column is preferred and the maximum page depth is 233 mm. Artwork sent by post should be supplied at its final size so that reduction is not required. The best copy originals or electronic files should be supplied as photocopies are rarely suitable for reproduction.
 3.2.1 Line Illustrations. (a) Line illustrations should be drawn in black, using lines of an even and adequate thickness (e.g. 1 pt). Curves should be smooth. Broken, dotted and dot-dash lines may also be used. Particular care should be taken to ensure that lines in spectra are of an adequate thickness (i.e. not less than 1 pt) for reproduction.
(b) Experimental data points must be of a reasonable size and wherever possible confined to open and closed circles, crosses, squares and triangles. Partly black circles and similar signs frequently become indistinguishable in print.
(c) Avoid the use of shading (tints) that simulate grey and use line shading if appropriate. Diagrams containing several grey shades are unlikely to reproduce successfully.
(d) If possible, lettering should be in an 8 pt Helvetica or Arial font.
(e) For graphs, axis labels should use SI units, separated from quantities with a solidus / not brackets, e.g.  /nm, 103(T/K)?, 2 /degrees. Symbols representing physical quantities should be given in italics, e.g. t/s, and units should be expressed in the form, e.g. g ml-1 rather than g/ml. Please note that % and ppm are ratios rather than units and should therefore be given in brackets.
(f) Extensive identifying lettering should be placed in the captions, rather than on the figures. Curves may be referred to by (a), (b), (c) etc. on the figure.
3.2.2 Structural Formulae. The purpose of all illustrative matter in a paper is to clarify the arguments and descriptions rather than to duplicate them. The RSC strongly encourages the use of displayed formulae, particularly in the form of schemes where the details of a reaction sequence are often more easily understood when illustrated than when described in the text.
(a) Structural formulae should be numbered with bold arabic numerals, e.g. 1, 2.
(b) Please use the following organic ligand abbreviations: Et, Prn, Pri, Bun, Bui, Bus, But, Ph, CO2H, CO2R, R, R1, R2, .??
(c) Structures and schemes can be submitted electronically. The settings for ChemDraw 3.5 are: Drawing settings: chain angle 120? bond spacing 20% of length; fixed length 0.43 cm; bold width 0.056 cm; line width 0.016 cm, margin width 0.044 cm, hash spacing 0.062 cm. Text settings: font labels and atom labels should be in 7 pt Helvetica; fractional character widths should be enabled. ChemWindow files should be saved as .cwg, ISIS/Draw saved as .skc and Chemsketch saved as .sk2.
3.2.3 Colour. Colour figures or computer-prepared artwork will be accepted, following advice from the referees. The final decision on the use of colour, however, lies with the Editor.
(a) Avoid tints or shading and if possible use only the following colours (other colours may not reproduce well):
100% magenta
100% cyan
100% magenta + 100% process yellow (to give red)
100% cyan + 100% process yellow (to give green)
(b) Reproduction of colour figures is best from computer generated artwork which should be saved as TIF or EPS files at > 600 dpi resolution.
(c) If electronic submission of files is not possible, good quality hard copies from a high-resolution printer may be supplied (preferably from a professional bureau). Inkjet printers are unlikely to give output of sufficient quality.
3.2.4 Photographs. (a) If electronic submission of such files is not possible, please provide high-quality original prints.
(b) Colour prints rarely reproduce satisfactorily in black and white and therefore colour plates for reproduction in black and white should be avoided.
3.3 Nomenclature
Current IUPAC nomenclature and symbolism should be used. Attention is drawn to the following publications in which the rules themselves and guidance on their use are given:
Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford, 1990.
Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, Pergamon, Oxford, 1979 edn.
A Guide to IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Compounds, Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford 1993.
Biochemical Nomenclature and Related Documents, Portland Press, London, 1992.
Compendium of Chemical Terminology: IUPAC Recommendations, Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford, 1997.
Glossary of Terms Used in Photochemistry, J. W. Verhoeven, Pure Appl. Chem., 1996, 68, 2223.
3.3.1 Units and Symbols. The recommendations of IUPAC should be followed. Their basis is the Système Internationale dUnités (SI). A detailed treatment is given in the so-called Green Book: Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry, Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford, 1993 edn.
3.4 Deposition of Supplementary Data
Information (such as spectra, primary kinetic data, computer programs, and output, evidence for amino acid sequences, etc.), which accompanies papers may be deposited, free of charge, with the Society's Electronic Supplementary Information service (ESI), either at the request of the author and with the approval of the referees or on the recommendation of referees and with the approval of the author. The final decision, however, lies with the Editor.
Under this scheme, authors should submit articles and the supplementary material to the Journal simultaneously in the normal way, and both will be refereed. If the paper is accepted for publication, electronic supplementary material will be mounted on the RSC web server in an appropriate file format. The supplementary material will be available from the RSC web site at the internet address that will appear in the article.
3.4.1 Preparation and Submission of Material. Authors will be responsible for the preparation of the supplementary material. Electronic material should be supplied where possible in the following file types:
(a) Microsoft Word
(b) WordPerfect
(c) Crystallographic Information File (CIF)
(d) XYZ, MDL MOLFile (MOL) or Brookhaven Protein Databank (PDB) files
(e) JPEG/GIF (maximum size 640 ?480 pixels)
Authors must identify which manuscript the electronic file is associated with when they send the file to the Editorial Office by entering the name of the manuscript at the top of the electronic file. CIF files should be sent by Email or supplied as part of the file upload, according to the instructions in Section 4.3.
3.4.2 Availability. Electronic supplementary information may be accessed free of charge from the RSC web site (www.rsc.org/esi) and for those without web access copies may also be obtained from the RSC Library and Information Service:
Library and Information Centre, Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, UK W1J 0BA, fax +44 (0) 20 7287 9798, E-mail: Library@rsc.org
3.5 Guidelines on Submitting Files for Proof Preparation
Successful use of your electronic files should speed up the production process and avoid errors being introduced.
3.5.1 Uploaded Files. (a) The electronic files for proof preparation (for formats see below) should be for the revised version of the manuscript. At this stage do not provide PDF files.
(b) Please supply the manuscript text (incorporating any revisions) and the graphics (for formats see below) as separate files, since these have to go through different production stages.
3.5.2 File Types. (a) We prefer to receive Microsoft Word files, although we will endeavour to use other electronic versions wherever possible. For other word processors, also save the file as Rich Text Format (.RTF) if possible.
(b) Graphics. ChemDraw files (saved as filename.cdx) are preferred, but we can also accept ChemWindows (saved as filename.cwg) and ISIS/Draw (exported as filename.skc).
(c) Please do not integrate your graphics files into the word processor document, since these are difficult to separate out for the proof preparation process.
3.5.3 Text Details. Please supply the text file as unjustified, ranged left, and without end-of-line hyphenation. Auto-referencing features that bury references within the text should not be used.
3.5.4 Tables. Please include any tables at the end of the text file, and use either the word processor's table editor or tabs for formatting (but not a mixture of the two).
3.5.5 Graphics. (a) Chemical structures as ChemDraw, ChemWindows and ISIS/Draw files submitted separately to the manuscript.
(b) Artwork (other than structures) as TIFF, EPS or PDF at 600 dpi or greater resolution.
(c) Please supply these separately to the word-processed file.
3.5.6 Consistency. Check the manuscript carefully for consistency, particularly in the representation of chemical formulae, compound names and words with alternative spellings.
We will try to use the supplied data in our production process, but mathematical equations and tables, in particular, may be re-keyed by the typesetter. Page proofs should still be checked closely.
3.5.7 Posted Files. In the event that you are unable to send a revised manuscript using the journal's electronic submission service, please submit paper copies of the manuscript. In these cases, please also provide the electronic files for the revised version of the manuscript.
