About the journal
 
The New Journal of Chemistry is a broad-based primary journal encompassing all branches of chemistry and its sub-disciplines. Published monthly, it contains full research articles and letters and opinions. This well-established journal, owned by the CNRS of France, has been co-published with the RSC since January 1998. Manuscripts are peer-reviewed by international referees selected to ensure that this is done rapidly and to the highest standards. This international outlook is reflected in the international Editorial Board, Advisory Board and Associate Editors.

NJC provides a forum for the publication (Full Articles and Letters) of original and significant work that is likely to be of wide general appeal or exceptional interest in its specialised area. NJC Letters are concise articles which report results of immediate interest to the chemistry community: they may be complete publications, though a subsequent paper may be justified, and should contain a brief experimental section.
NJC also publishes "Opinions"; these are short articles presenting an opinion, hypothesis or conjecture on a topic judged to be of interest to the readership of the journal. For more information please see www.rsc.org/is/journals/current/newjchem/njc_opinions.htm
Submissions should be directed to the appropriate Editor (see inside front cover or www.rsc.org/is/journals/current/newjchem/njc_subm.htm for details)
Each article deemed suitable for consideration as a submission will be assessed by at least two independent referees. Authors are invited to suggest suitable referees for their article. However, it would not normally be appropriate to use only those referees nominated by the author. The decision to accept or reject a paper will be made on the basis of two agreeing reports. Authors who disagree strongly with the result may appeal to the New Journal of Chemistry Editorial Board through the Managing Editor, Montpellier. |

Authors are encouraged to use the RSC template to prepare submissions (see www.rsc.org/is/journals/templates/templates.htm for more details).
Full Articles¡ªthe typescript should usually be organised as follows:
- Title and author information
- Illustrated contents entry
- Summary/abstract (50¨C250 words) setting out the main objectives and results in a clear and interesting way
- Main body of article, with appropriate section headings
- Acknowledgements
- References

- Figure captions and scheme captions
- Figures and schemes
Letters¡ªas for Full Articles except:
- Typescript is short
- Crystal data should be kept brief and incorporated into the Experimental section with key molecular dimensions in the figure captions
Opinions¡ªas for Full Articles except:
- Typescript is short, typically one printed page
2.1 Submission of manuscripts
Authors are encouraged to send submissions to the Journal in electronic form using the RSC e-submission service, or alternatively as email attachments. Articles sent in this way will be considered for online refereeing (where this is possible).
2.1.1 Online submission of articles (e-submissions)
Online submission web page can be found at www.rsc.org/submissions
Ideally, articles should be converted from their native word processor format to a single PDF file for e-submission. Submission of a PDF facilitates online refereeing and allows manuscripts to be handled more accurately and efficiently by the Editorial Offices. Please note that when an article is accepted for publication, an MS Word (or similar native format) version of the manuscript and separate copies of the artwork in TIF, EPS or PDF formats will be required at that time for proof preparation. It would be helpful if PDF graphics were produced using the "PDF Creation Files" job options from our web site: www.rsc.org/is/journals/templates/templates.htm Unfortunately PDF text files are not suitable for proof preparation.
The RSC e-submission service allows any number of files to be uploaded. The following files and information should be provided:
| (1) |
A PDF version of the manuscript as a single file (containing text and figures) |
| (2) |
Crystallographic data in CIF format (if appropriate, see Section 4) |
| (3) |
Data for deposition with the ESI service (if appropriate, see Section 3) |
| (4) |
Details of any relevant in press references (please give reference or include PDF file) |
| (5) |
A black and white graphical abstract for the contents page |
| (6) |
Names of potential referees |
| (7) |
A justification of why the work merits publication as a Letter (if appropriate) |
As part of the online submission process you will be asked to accept a License to Publish. If submitting by another route, a completed Licence to Publish (www.rsc.org/is/journals/current/coplic.htm) should be forwarded to the Editor.
After e-submission, your file will be acknowledged by the Editorial Office as soon as possible. Authors should contact the Editorial Office if they have not received an acknowledgement within 4 working days. Authors should not duplicate submissions by forwarding more than one version of their manuscript or simultaneously submitting the manuscript by post or e-mail.
For manuscripts submitted online, a printed copy of the manuscript will not be required.
2.1.2 Requirements for revised articles and material for proof preparation
Revised manuscripts may be sent to the Editorial Office either by electronic file upload (www.rsc.org/submissions) or as email attachments.
The revised files should be sent in the formats given in the separate Guidelines on submitting files for proof preparation. This information can be found at www.rsc.org/pdf/authrefs/proofprep.pdf |

Authors are encouraged to deposit bulk information (such as primary kinetic data, spectra, programs, etc.) with the RSC¡¯s ESI service. Such data will be made freely available via the World Wide Web. The electronic data should be supplied in one of the formats below (other formats may also be acceptable)
- Word
- WordPerfect
- PDF
- JPEG/GIF (max 640x480 pixels)
- MOL (or PDB), XYZ, MDL
- Crystallographic information file (CIF)

Crystallographic work will be assessed in the context of the chemistry being presented and should normally be fully refined. Where refinement is incomplete, or the structure displays any unusual features or other problems, the authors should provide suitable details to show that publication of the structure determination is appropriate.
Authors wishing to submit X-ray crystallographic work are strongly encouraged to consult the full guidelines before submitting such work (available on the web at www.rsc.org/is/journals/authrefs/cryst.htm or on request from the Editorial Office).
Brief details of the data collection and structure analysis should be given in the Experimental section. The following information should be given in the manuscript:
| (1) |
Chemical formula and formula weight (M) |
| (2) |
Crystal system |
| (3) |
Unit-cell dimensions ( or pm, degrees) and volume, with estimated standard deviations, temperature |
| (4) |
Space group symbol (if non-standard setting give related standard setting) |
| (5) |
No. of formula units in unit cell (Z) |
| (6) |
Linear absorption coefficient (¦Ì) |
| (7) |
Number of reflections measured and/or number of independent reflections and Rint |
| (8) |
Final R values (and whether quoted for all or observed data) |
The following example demonstrates the application of the recommendations:
Crystal data: C28H31BrCl4N2O14Pd, M = 947.66, orthorhombic, a = 11.0969(14), b = 17.197(2), c = 19.604(3) , U = 3741.0(9) 3 , T = 173 K, space group P212121 (no. 19), Z = 4, ¦Ì(Mo-K¦Á) = 1.9 mm −1 , 6013 reflections measured, 5665 unique (Rint = 0.031) which were used in all calculations. The final wR(F2) was 0.099 (all data).
Selected bond lengths and angles, with estimated standard deviations, should normally be included in the figure captions and be restricted to significant dimensions only. Authors should also submit all supplementary crystallographic data as a crystallographic information file (CIF) electronically to the editor to whom the manuscript has been submitted. This should include:
- A table of final fractional atomic coordinates
- Any calculated coordinates (e.g. hydrogen)
- A full list of bond lengths and angles with estimated standard deviations
- A full list of displacement parameters in the form Bij or Uij (in 2 or pm2 )
- Full details of the solution and refinement
Supplementary crystallographic data will be passed to the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) as part of the assessment process. Each structure will be assigned a separate CCDC number which will be detailed in the subsequent crystallographic report. Data will be held in their confidential archive until publication of the article, when they will be entered into the Cambridge Structural Database (if an organic carbon is present) while purely inorganic data will be forwarded to the Fachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe. Enquiries for data can be directed to:
CCDC, 12 Union Road, Cambridge CB2 1EZ, UK. E-mail deposit@ccdc.cam.ac.uk; Fax +44 (0)1223 336033.
If the article is not published by the RSC, these data will remain in the CCDC's confidential archive. If the crystal structure(s) are then published elsewhere, the CCDC deposition number(s) detailed in the crystallographic report should be quoted in that publication and the CCDC advised of the new journal and the appropriate reference.
4.1 Publication of powder diffraction studies
4.1.1 Unrefined powder diffraction data
Powder diffraction data should normally only be given where the data forms a part of the discussion presented in the paper and should be restricted to new materials. In such cases, the following experimental details should be provided as part of a footnote or reference:
- Diffractometer name and model
- Radiation wavelength
- Temperature of data collection
- 2¦È collection range
- Unit cell dimensions, if determined
Tables of 2¦È data, or diagrams showing diffraction patterns of reaction products, should not normally be published in print, unless they have some distinct feature of relevance that requires such material to be present. In all other cases, such data may be provided as supplementary material, simultaneously with the paper, for deposition with the Society¡¯s ESI scheme.
For cases where the materials are new but have similar powder data to other, well characterised materials the data should not usually be included in the paper.
4.1.2 Refined powder diffraction data (where atomic coordinates have been determined)
Details of the data collection and structure analysis should be given in the Experimental section. The following information should be given:
- Diffractometer name and model
- Radiation wavelength
- Temperature of data collection
- 2¦È collection range
- Step size
- Chemical formula
- Formula weight
- Unit cell dimensions
- Space group
- Z
- Number of reflections
- Final R values (Rwp, Rexp and RI) and method of background treatment
A table of atomic coordinates may be provided if it forms an important aspect of the study. Selected bond lengths and angles, with estimated standard deviations, should be included in the figure captions and be restricted to significant dimensions only.
For Rietveld refinements, an observed + calculated + difference profile plot may be given for each structure determination, except where a significant number of similar refinements have been carried out. In such cases, only the minimum number of representative plots should be included in the article, with additional plots being provided as supplementary material.
A perspective plot (or similar) of the structure should normally be provided. This should be produced in the same style as that detailed for illustrations of single crystal structure determinations.
Authors should submit the following supplementary data for use by the referees. This should be provided electronically, or if no electronic version is available, as two hard copies at the time of submission.
- A table of final fractional atomic coordinates
- Any calculated coordinates (e.g. hydrogen)
- A full list of bond lengths and angles with estimated standard deviations
- A full list of displacement parameters in the form Bij or Uij (in 2 or pm2)
- Details of the refinement (as given above in points 1¨C12)
- Profile difference plots for all analyses
Supplementary powder diffraction data (where atomic coordinates have been determined) will be deposited by the Society with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) as part of the assessment process. Each organic or metallo-organic structure will be assigned a separate CCDC number. Data will be held in the CCDC's confidential archive until publication of the article, when data for organic and metallo-organic compounds will be entered into the Cambridge Structural Database. Post-publication requests for individual data sets should be directed to:
CCDC, 12 Union Road, Cambridge CB2 1EZ, UK. E-mail deposit@ccdc.cam.ac.uk; Fax +44 (0)1223 336033,
If the article is not published by the RSC, supplementary crystallographic data will remain in the CCDC's confidential archive. If the crystal structure(s) are subsequently published elsewhere, the CCDC should be advised of the new journal and the appropriate reference. |
