Article types

• Research articles
• Review articles
• Methods and instrumentation papers
• Technical reports
• Short communications

Reporting

Describe reagents, purity, quantities, apparatus, reaction conditions, controls, calibration, uncertainty, statistical analysis and safety precautions in enough detail for assessment. New compounds require appropriate structural characterization and spectra. Report yields and selectivity transparently.

Data and safety

Include a Data Availability Statement and deposit spectra, crystallographic data, computational inputs and code in suitable repositories where practical. State hazards, waste handling and institutional approvals for regulated work.

Review files

Provide a separate title page and anonymized manuscript for double-blind review. Disclose funding, competing interests, author contributions and material AI use.

Submission status
