About the journal
Published since 1929, this monthly journal publishes outstanding research articles and comprehensive reviews by international contributors in analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical-theoretical chemistry. Articles on electrochemistry, surface chemistry, theoretical chemistry, bio-synthesis, physical organic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and nuclear magnetic resonance also appear. Review articles are contributed, from time to time, by recognized scientists from around the world.
Instructions to Authors
The Canadian Journal of Chemistry (Can. J. Chem.) publishes reports of original chemical research, in the form of articles or communications, in either English or French. An article reports the results of a completed definitive study. A communication is intended for the rapid publication of timely and significant work. The manuscript for a communication should not normally exceed eight double-spaced typewritten pages, including any figures and tables, but should contain sufficient experimental detail to allow repetition of the work by those knowledgeable in the field. A brief statement indicating the significance of the work should appear in the introductory paragraph of the manuscript or be indicated in a covering letter. An author should recognize that timeliness and significance are highly subjective qualities; this statement should, therefore, be prepared with some care. The publication of critical reviews is also encouraged. Manuscripts submitted to the Canadian Journal of Chemistry must not be published or under consideration elsewhere.
Checklist for Authors
To avoid delays in editorial processing, authors should ensure that
- all sections of the manuscript are typewritten, double-spaced, on one side of standard size paper with 1-in. (2.5 cm) margins;
- all pages are numbered at top, beginning with title page;
- the title page includes the title, authors?names, and the names and addresses of the institution at which work was done;
- the corresponding author is indicated, with telephone number and, where available, facsimile number and e-mail address;
- page 2 contains the abstract and key words;
- the format and style conform to that of current articles in the Journal;
- the cover letter includes the names of possible reviewers; and
- a graphical abstract is provided on a separate page.
- refer to Preparing Manuscripts for Online Submission
Delays in publication can be avoided by adherence to the instructions below
The Manuscript
All sections of the manuscript, including footnotes, tables, figure captions, and references, should be typewritten, double-spaced, on one side of standard 8.5 ?11 in. (or ISO A4) with 1-in. (2.5 cm) margins. The first page should contain only the title; the authors?names; the names and addresses of the institution at which the work was done; the name and telephone number and, where available, the facsimile number and e-mail address of the corresponding author; and any relevant footnotes. The manuscript will include the abstract(s) (p. 2) and the main body of the text, followed by, in order, acknowledgements, references, any appendices, tables, and figure captions. Figure captions should be typed on a separate sheet in numerical order. Each page of the manuscript should be numbered at the top of the page, beginning with the title page. Writing should be as concise as is commensurate with adequate clarity. The original of the manuscript and supplementary material to be deposited are required. Both titles and abstracts provide information for contemporary alerting and information retrieval services, and should therefore be informative but brief. In compliance with a request from the Chemical Abstracts Service, the Editors urge all authors to use full forenames rather than initials and (or) one forename.
Spelling should follow that of Webster’s Third New International Dictionary or the Oxford English Dictionary. Authors are responsible for consistency in spelling.
Symbols, units, and nomenclature should conform to international recommendations such as those of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. SI units (Système international d’unités) should be used or SI equivalents should be given. This system is explained and other useful information is given in the Canadian Metric Practice Guide (1989) published by the Canadian Standards Association (178 Rexdale Blvd., Etobicoke, ON M6N 3T3, Canada). For practical reasons, some exceptions to SI units are allowed. Units such as molarity, kilocalorie, reciprocal centimetre (wave number), and atmosphere may be used for the foreseeable future. An interim list of acceptable non-SI units is reported in Anal. Chem. 54, 155 (1982). If a formula or name of a chemical compound is referred to by a number, a boldface Arabic number should be used.
Abbreviations for names of substances, procedures, organizations, etc., must be defined the first time they are used. Symbols and Greek letters or little-used characters should be clearly identified; superscripts and subscripts should be legible and correctly placed.
The following references are pertinent in nomenclature: Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, Sections A, B, C, D, E, F, and H, Pergamon Press, London, 1979; Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, Butterworth, London, 1971; Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry, Blackwell, London, 1987. Tentative recommendations exist for organometallic nomenclature, IUPAC Information Bulletin No. 31, 1973; for stereochemical designations, J. Org. Chem. 35, 2849 (1970); and for steroids, J. Org. Chem. 34, 1517 (1969). Although tentative IUPAC rules have been published for carbohydrate nomenclature (Biochemistry, 10, 3983 (1971)), the Editors recommend the use of the British–American nomenclature (J. Org. Chem. 28, 281 (1963)), until the IUPAC rules become definitive. For nomenclature not covered by international convention, the usage of the American Chemical Society should be followed, e.g., The Naming and Indexing of Chemical Compounds (Introduction to Chemical Abstracts Subject Index 56, IN (1962)). Rigid adherence to nomenclature rules is not expected each time a compound is mentioned in a manuscript, but the approved names should be given at least once, preferably in an early part of the manuscript.
Each manuscript must be accompanied by an abstract. Authors should provide three to five key words directly below the abstract for use by the indexing services. The abstract should be preceded by the title and authors?names so that one copy, on a separate page, can be sent to the translator. The abstract should not exceed one page for articles (shorter for communications) and should not include abbreviations or references. Authors who can submit abstracts in both English and French are encouraged to do so.
The experimental, or computational, material must be sufficiently detailed to permit reproduction of the work, but must be concise and avoid lengthy descriptions of known procedures; the latter should be specified by appropriate references. A reader’s attention should be drawn to any new or unusual hazards encountered in the experimental work.
Analyses and spectra—It is the responsibility of authors to provide fully convincing evidence for the homogeneity and identity of all compounds they claim as new. Evidence of both purity and identity normally includes good elemental analytical data. An accurate mass measurement of a molecular ion is acceptable as evidence for chemical composition provided that independent evidence for sample purity is given. Where such data are not available, the 13C NMR and (or) 1H NMR spectra of certain compounds, or other evidence, may be acceptable provided that these alternatives are convincing both to an expert in the area and to the Editor.
Rate and equilibrium constants—Primary experimental results should be available to readers in the form of tables, which may be included with the published manuscript or may be treated as supplementary material. In general, examples of the primary experimental data should be included, especially if an innovative or nonstandard data treatment is employed. In papers reporting kinetics experiments, the primary rate constants must be presented, while in papers describing the determination of acidity functions, tables of log I as a function of acid concentration should be given. The only acceptable unit of time for a rate constant is the second.
References should be verified by checking the original publications. In the bibliography, which follows the acknowledgements, references are numbered and listed in the order in which they are first cited in the text. Each reference must be cited in the text and designated therein by its unique key number typed on the line in parentheses. In a reference to the periodical literature, initials precede the surnames of the authors, followed by the name of the periodical (abbreviated in the form used in CASSI, Chemical Abstracts Service, P.O. Box 3012, Columbus, OH 43210, U.S.A.), the volume number, initial page number, and year in parentheses. References to books, conference proceedings, theses, etc., should include the name(s) and initials of the author(s), the title of the publication, the name(s) and initials of the editor(s), if any, the name of the publisher, the city and year of publication, and the page or chapter cited. For examples of the appropriate format see a recent issue of the Journal.
Reports not yet accepted for publication and private communications are not acceptable references, and should be included in the text in parentheses or given as a footnote. When citing material that has appeared in a format not readily available in a scientific library, the author must provide the Editor with two copies of the document; for a manuscript "in press," one copy is sufficient.
Footnotes to material in the text should not be used unless they are unavoidable, but their use is encouraged in tables. Where used in the text, footnotes should be cited in the manuscript by superscript Arabic numbers (except in the tables, see below) and should be numbered serially beginning with any that appear on the title page. Each footnote should be typed on the manuscript page on which the reference to it is made; footnotes should not be included in the list of references.
Equations should be clearly typed; triple-spacing should be used if superscripts and (or) subscripts are involved. Superscripts and subscripts should be legible and carefully placed. Distinguish between lowercase l and the numeral one, and between capital O and the numeral zero. A letter or symbol should represent only one entity and be used consistently throughout the paper. Each variable must be defined in the text, or in a List of symbols to appear after the reference list. Variables representing vectors, matrices, vector matrices, and tensors must be clearly identified. Numbers identifying equations must be in square brackets and placed flush with the left margin. In numbering, no distinction is made between mathematical and chemical equations.
Tables should be numbered in Arabic numerals in the order cited in the text and each should have a brief title. All information in the tables should be typewritten, double-spaced, except for mathematical or chemical equations, chemical structures, or complicated entries, which should be triple-spaced. Type each table on a separate sheet. Abbreviations may be used in the brief column headings with explanatory footnotes where necessary. Tables should not contain vertical rules or superfluous horizontal rules. Footnotes are indicated by lowercase italic superscript letters. Other descriptive notes may be placed below the table, designated by Note.
Appendices—Figures and tables used in an appendix should be numbered sequentially but separately from those used in the main body of the paper, for example, Fig. A1, Table A1, etc.
Supplemental material—The National Research Council of Canada maintains a depository in which supplementary material may be placed, either at the request of the author or suggestion of the Editor. Such material may include extensive tables of data, detailed calculations, and maps not essential for understanding and evaluating the paper. Such material must be clearly marked when the manuscript is submitted. Tables and figures should be numbered in sequence separate from those published with the paper (e.g., Fig. D1, Table D1). The supplemental material should be referred to by footnotes.
Authors of papers describing new single crystal X-ray diffraction structure determinations on biological macromolecules must submit to the Protein Data Bank, Brookhaven National Laboratory, all structural data required to validate the discussion, including both X-ray amplitudes and phases and the derived atomic coordinates. If requested by the authors, the Editors will ask the Data Bank not to distribute the information until a specified date. For coordinate lists, this date may not be more than 1 year beyond the acceptance date of the manuscript. For the full structure amplitude and phase data the time interval before distribution may not exceed 4 years. The release date specified by the author will appear in a footnote to the paper along with the statement that the information has been submitted to the Protein Data Bank. In the absence of a specified release date, it will be assumed that the information is available immediately on appearance of the publication.
For single crystal X-ray structure determination of other molecules, sufficient data should be included with the manuscript to allow adequate review. These data should be in a form suitable for deposition in the National Research Council of Canada depository. Recommendations for the presentation of crystallographic data appear in Can. J. Chem. 80 (1), I-5 (2002) or see Notes for Authors of papers presenting the results of x-ray crystal-structure analyses. Guidelines for the presentation of data from thermal analyses appear in Anal. Chem. 39, 543 (1967) and 44, 640 (1972).
Further details on most of these topics are included in the Supplementary instructions to authors, copies of which are available from any Editor on request. The format for the presentation of physical, analytical, and spectroscopic data is also described.
Illustrations
Each figure or group of figures should be planned to fit, after appropriate reduction, into the area of either one or two columns of text. The maximum finished size of a one-column illustration is 8.6 ?23.7 cm (3.4 ?9.3 in.) and that of a two-column illustration is 18.2 ?23.7 cm (7.2 ?9.3 in.). The figures (including halftones) must be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals, and each one must be referred to in the text and must be self-explanatory. All terms, abbreviations, and symbols must correspond with those in the text. Only essential labelling should be used, with detailed information given in the caption.
Line drawings should be made with black ink or computer-generated in black on high-quality white paper or other comparable material. For computer-generated graphics, supply a laser print at the highest resolution available. Photocopies are not acceptable.
All lines must be sufficiently thick (0.5 points minimum) to reproduce well, and all symbols, superscripts, subscripts, and decimal points must be in good proportion to the rest of the drawing and large enough to allow for any necessary reduction without loss of detail. Avoid small open symbols; these tend to fill in upon reproduction. Lettering produced by dot matrix printers or typewriters, or by hand, is not acceptable. The same font style and lettering sizes should be used for all figures of similar size in any one paper. Any coordinate lines to appear should be ruled in. Original NMR, IR, and EPR spectra are often not reproducible and should be redrawn.
Structural drawings—Structures and schemes should be placed on separate pages (not within the text). Use of a computer drawing program such as ChemDraw or ChemWindows is highly recommended. Single-width bold and broken lines are preferred to wedges for stereochemical notation; 12-pt Helvetica font should be used for atom labels.
Graphical abstracts are published as part of the Table of Contents. The graphical abstract may consist of a small structural diagram, equation, or other informative drawing that serves to illustrate the subject of the article. This must be an original laser print or drawing, provided on a separate page, of a maximum size of 40 mm high ?85 mm wide, without text (except necessary labels).
Photographs should be continuous tone on glossy paper. These figures should be prepared in the final published size.
Colour illustrations will be at the author’s expense. Further details on prices are available from Jennifer Stewart, Managing Editor, NRC Research Press (613-990-3474; fax: 613-952-7656; e-mail: jennifer.stewart@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca).
NRC Research Press will use the submitted electronic illustration files whenever possible. However, if electronic files are not usable, high-quality hard copy originals will be requested and will be scanned. Note that the scanner will easily reproduce flaws (e.g., correction fluid, smudges). Submission of noncontinuous (screened) photographs and scanned illustrations printed out on laser printers is not recommended, as moirés develop; a moir?is a noticeable, unwanted pattern generated by rescanning or rescreening an illustration that already contains a dot pattern.
Preparation of Electronic Illustration Files
Electronic files should have meaningful names (i.e., figure number). The preferred graphic application of NRC Research Press is CorelDraw! For other applications that can be used, see the Electronics graphics list. PC or Macintosh versions of True Type or Type 1 fonts should be used. Do not use bitmap or nonstandard fonts.
All figures should be submitted at their final published size. For figures with several parts (e.g., a, b, c, d, etc.) created using the same software application, assemble them into one file rather than sending several files.
Remember that the more complex your artwork becomes, the greater the possibility for problems at output time. Avoid complicated textures and shadings, especially in vector illustration programs; this increases the chance for a poor-quality final product.
Bitmap (raster) files—Bitmaps are image files produced using a grid format in which each square (or pixel) is set to one level of black, colour, or grey. A bitmap (rasterized) file is broken down into the number of pixels or picture elements per inch (ppi). Pixels per inch is sometimes referred to as dots per inch (dpi). The higher the resolution of an image, the larger the number of pixels contained within the rectangular grid.
The proper resolution should be used when submitting bitmap artwork. The minimum requirements for resolution are 600 dpi for line art and finelines (line art with fine lines or shading), 300 dpi for halftones and colour, and 600 dpi for combinations (halftones with lettering outside the photo area).
All colour files submitted must be as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). These colours are used in full-colour commercial printing. RGB graphics (red, green, and blue; colours specifically used to produce an image on a monitor) will not print correctly.
Vector files—Vector files are image files produced using elements such as lines and shapes. Typically these files are used for line drawings.
Bitmaps inside vector files—Bitmaps can be imported into vector/draw applications only for the purpose of adding and overlaying information, lines, text, etc. Bitmaps should not be resized, cropped, rotated, or otherwise manipulated after importing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Evaluation—The Editor will seek advice from two or more independent reviewers who are selected for their knowledge of, and their experience in, the subject treated in the manuscript. The Editor retains full responsibility, however, for all decisions regarding the manuscript. Authors are invited to suggest reviewers who are competent to examine their manuscript, but the Editor is not limited to such suggestions. Reviewers are informed that they have received privileged documents for assessment of scientific merit and are expected to provide reasonable arguments to support their evaluations. Identities of reviewers will not be released to authors without the written consent of the reviewer.
Revision—If a manuscript that was sent to an author for revision is not returned within 3 months, the Editors will consider the manuscript withdrawn by the author; any revised version submitted subsequently will be considered as a new contribution. The typescript and three clear copies of a revised manuscript should be submitted, unless the Editors specify otherwise. Handwritten revisions and amendments are not acceptable; in most instances the page(s) involved should be retyped. A completed and signed Assignment of Copyright form (available from the Editors, in any current issue of the Journal, or on the web site of NRC Research Press) must accompany the final revision of a manuscript.
Once the paper has been accepted, all correspondence should be with NRC Research Press, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A 0R6, Canada.
Submission of electronic copy—Authors are requested to submit the final accepted manuscript only, both in hard copy format and on disk. Text files and figure files should be submitted on separate disks. All disks must be labeled clearly with the authors?names. Text (including tables) should be provided in a word-processing format (any form of WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, or TeX is preferable, IBM compatible or Macintosh). TeX macros for preparing papers for submissions are available at ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/, ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/, and ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/ macros/latex/contrib/nrc/. Identify the word-processing software, version number, and type of computer used (IBM or Macintosh). For figures, see the section "Preparation of Electronic Illustration Files." Include a statement in the letter accompanying the manuscript that the version on the disk exactly matches the final hard copy version.
Copyright material—If a manuscript contains material (figures, tables, etc.) that is protected by copyright, the author must submit to the Editor, before publication, written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the material for both the print and electronic formats.
Galley proofs—A galley proof, illustration proofs, the copy-edited manuscript, and a reprint order form are sent to the corresponding author. Galley proofs must be checked very carefully, as they are not proofread by NRC Research Press, and must be returned within 48 hours of receipt. To expedite publication, proofs of communications are not always sent to the author. The proof stage is not the time to make extensive corrections, additions, or deletions, and the cost of changes introduced by the author and deemed to be excessive will be charged to the author. Questions concerning galley proofs should be addressed to Jennifer Stewart, Managing Editor, NRC Research Press (613-990-3474; fax: 613-952-7656; e-mail: jennifer.stewart@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca).
Reprints—If reprints are desired, the reprint order form must be filled out completely and returned with payment (cheque, credit card number, purchase order number, or journal voucher) at the same time the corrected proofs and manuscript are returned or, in the case of a communication, as soon as possible. Orders submitted after the issue has been printed are subject to considerably higher prices. The Journal does not provide free reprints and reprints are not mailed until a purchase order number or payment is received.
Copyright transfer—Authors are required to complete a copyright transfer form assigning all rights to NRC. Requests for permission to republish the paper, in whole or in part, should be sent to NRC Research Press.
Notes for Authors of papers presenting the results of X-ray crystal-structure analyses
Although authors are asked to use a checkcif program developed by the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), the standards of Acta Crystallographica C may not be rigorously applied. Every crystal structure should be evaluated taking into account its chemical significance. Sufficient information about a structure should be available so that readers can make their own judgements about the quality of the structure. The quantities requested in the section below are necessary for this purpose.
The following crystallographic data should be given in the manuscript (all measured quantities should be accompanied by a measure of accuracy): chemical formula; formula weight (Mr); colour; crystal form; crystal dimensions; crystal system; space group symbol (if non-standard setting, give related standard setting); unit cell dimensions; Z; unit cell volume; observed density (Dm); calculated density (Dx); working temperature; Flack parameter (if applicable); radiation used and the assumed value for the wavelength; and the solvent for crystallization.
The following information pertaining to the measurement of data should be given: diffractometer used; method of recording and measurement; the region of reciprocal space explored; the number of reflections measured and number of independent reflections; the number of observed independent reflections and observation criterion; Rint; and the details of any special corrections such as absorption or extinction.
The final refinement should be reported in sufficient detail to enable the reader to assess its reliability and completeness. The origin of the scattering factors used should be specified, together with any corrections for anomalous scattering. A final agreement index (R = S||Fo| ?|Fc||/S|Fo|) defined with respect to the treatment of unobserved reflections and an appropriate weighted R (wR(F) or wR(F2)) should be given with the weighting function used. For least-squares refinement, any approximation (e.g., block-diagonal) should be specified, as should the quantity minimized. The weighting scheme should be given and should include a statement of any reflections assigned zero weight. The correctness of the reported structure should be checked by a method independent of that used for refinement (e.g., by a difference-Fourier synthesis), and the result of this procedure should be briefly reported.
Information requiring explanations or references should be put into a short experimental paragraph. This paragraph would include information such as the following: scattering factors from International Tables for Crystallography (Vol. C); structure solution: Xtal3.5 (Hall et al. 1997); refinement program: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick 1997); absorption correction: y-scans (North et al. 1968); extinction correction: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick 1997); weighting function, w = 1/[s2(c) + (0.0491P)2 + 0.6387P], where P = (Fo2 + 2Fc2)/3.
The remainder of the above information should be given in a table, such as:

For area detector structures, some of the data collection parameters should be appropriately modified to describe the area detector data collection. For multiple crystal structures, all entries might be put into a single column for each structure.
The journal will normally publish a Table of Crystal Data. A Table of Selected Bond Distances and Angles may be included if required to explain the chemistry. Publication of other data, such as essential torsion angles, angles between planes, and intermolecular distances can be included in the text if scientifically justified. Tables of complete bond distances, atomic coordinates, thermal parameters, and H-atom positions should be included in the deposited CIF. The CIF will be appended to the electronic version of the journal. Both an electronic and hard copy of the CIF should be submitted with the manuscript. Instructions for deposition with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) are given below.
For structures with anisotropically refined atoms, an ORTEP diagram (or equivalent) displaying the thermal ellipsoids should be presented.
The existence of deposited material is indicated in the printed article by a footnote in the following format: "Supplementary material may be purchessed form the Depository of Unpubllished Data, Document Delivery, CISTI, National Research Council Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A OS2, Canada. For information on obtaining material electronically go to http://cisti-icist.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/irm/unpub_e.shtml. Crystallographic information has also been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC No.). Copies of the data can be obtained free of charge via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/conts/retrieving.html (or from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre, 12, Union Road, Cambridge CB2 1EZ, UK; fax: +44 1233 336033; or deposit@ccdc.cam.ca.uk)."
The volume of information required for compliance with these notes is formidable, and it is essential that the presentation be concise and relevant. It should not be a narrative account of the progress of the analysis or a discussion of method unless these elements have a direct bearing on the chemical conclusions.
Instruction for deposition of crystallographic data
These notes concern the crystallographic data associated with organic and metal-organic structures.
- Prior to submitting a manuscript to the Canadian Journal of Chemistry (CJC), the author must deposit the corresponding CIF with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). The e-mail address to send a CIF to the CCDC is: deposit@ccdc.cam.ac.uk
- Before submitting the CIF to the CCDC, it should be tested for errors by using the CJC/IUCr checkcif program (Web site address: http://www.iucr.org/cjc/checkcif.html) or the IUCr checkcif program (Web site address: http://www.iucr.org/ iucr-top/journals/acta/c/services/checkcif.html). When checking a CIF at the above Web sites, the second line in the CIF should be: _publ_suggested_journal 'test'
These checkcif programs will give a list of concerns and a response form. You should correct the CIF to eliminate as many problems as possible and resubmit the CIF. When the manuscript is submitted to CJC a copy of the last output from the checkcif program with a completed response form (from the checkcif program) should accompany the manuscript. Adequate explanations should be given on the response form.
- The CCDC will provide the author with a deposition number for each crystal structure reported in the manuscript. Each number is a 6-digit integer, e.g., 100345. This deposition number should be included with the manuscript when submitting to the journal.
- When the paper is published an appropriate footnote will be printed, for example: "Supplementary material may be purchessed form the Depository of Unpubllished Data, Document Delivery, CISTI, National Research Council Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A OS2, Canada. For information on obtaining material electronically go to http://cisti-icist.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/irm/unpub_e.shtml. Crystallographic information has also been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC No.). Copies of the data can be obtained free of charge via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/conts/retrieving.html (or from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre, 12, Union Road, Cambridge CB2 1EZ, UK; fax: +44 1233 336033; or deposit@ccdc.cam.ca.uk)."
- The deposited data will not be archived to the Cambridge Structural Database until the paper has been published. If, after 15?8 months, the paper has not been published, the CCDC will contact the depositor to determine what should be done with the data.
Notes for Authors
A checklist of data items for deposition can be obtained from the CCDC Home Page on the World Wide Web (http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/) or by e-mail (to fileserv@ccdc.cam.ac.uk with the one-line message sendme checklist). This list is NOT sufficient to complete a CIF for a checkcif program.
To run a checkcif program, most of the fields on the CIF must be filled. The response will tell you about any fields that require completion. Please submit a complete CIF to the CCDC and not one containing only the parameters listed as required by the CCDC. This CIF will be appended to the electronic version of any paper published by the Canadian Journal of Chemistry.
