The MS Word templates available on our homepage should only be used for the initial submission of your contribution. Production material (i.e., the final, accepted version of a manuscript) should be uploaded through your personal homepage (http://www.editorialmanager.com/cssc) as follows: o One .doc or .pdf file for a cover letter and your response to the comments of the referees (if applicable). o One .doc file with all of the manuscript's text: Title All Author name(s) and academic title(s) All Dedication (if applicable) All Addresses All Abstract All Table of Contents image and text All Keywords All Main text All Experimental Section Full Paper, Communication Acknowledgements (if applicable) All References All Captions for Figures and Schemes All Table(s) All (exception: include structures![a]) Biographical sketches of Reviews, Minireviews correspondence authors [a] Please include chemical structures in tables. This is important to ensure accuracy in the typesetting process. o Individual files for all of the graphics, including the Table of Contents image, in the preferred format for direct reproduction. Each Formula, Scheme, Equation, and Figure should be saved as a separate file, including graphics in tables (i.e., graphics in tables are sent "double"). o One Supporting Information file, if applicable, as a .doc or .pdf file. 2 2 Preparing the text 2.1 Notes valid for all manuscripts o Please ensure that all authors have seen, and agree to, the manuscript text as uploaded. This prevents extensive corrections at the proof stage. o Manuscript titles should be as succinct and accurate as possible (maximum 115 characters), and without a reference. Ideally, titles comprise one or more keywords. o Author line: The academic title (only Prof., or Dr.), first name, other initials, and surname of each author should be listed, and the authors should be linked to an address by means of references [a], [b], etc. An asterisk indicates each correspondence author. o The address (preferentially in the country's official language), fax number, homepage, and e-mail address(es) of the correspondence author(s) are listed. If the authors belong to different research groups, each group should be listed under [a], [b], etc., corresponding to the references [a], [b], etc., in the author line. o The suggestion for the Table of Contents should include a graphic (formula, figure, or scheme), accompanied by text, that refers to the graphic, of between 350 and 450 characters. Large figures and schemes must be avoided. The picture will be either placed to one side of the text, in which case its size should be 55 mm wide x 50 mm high (650 pixels x 590 pixels@300 dpi), or above the text across two columns, in which case its size should be 110 mm wide x 25 mm high (1300 pixels x 245 pixels@300 dpi). o In the Abstract, the motivation for the work, the methods applied, the results, and the conclusions drawn should be presented. Like the title, the abstract should contain several keywords to aid finding the paper online. It should not mention graphical elements, tables, or references within the paper. Length instructions: Communications: 500-600 characters incl. spaces Full Papers: 800-1000 characters incl. spaces Reviews etc. 1000-1500 characters incl. spaces o A maximum of five keywords should be given in alphabetical order, at least two of which must come from the Basic Keyword catalogue available on our homepage: http://www.wiley-vch.de/vch/journals/keyword.php?sort=e. o Supporting Information: Succinct text in English and the necessary graphics must be submitted separately as one .pdf or .doc file. It is not necessary to add the manuscript title and authors: a title page will be generated automatically based on the final title and author list. Only in the Supporting Information should the graphics be incorporated with the text and not be present as separate files. The Supporting Information should not include crystallographic data that are available from CCDC or FIZ. 3 o All Tables, Equations, Figures, and Schemes are to be mentioned in the text in numerical order, and please start with number 1, e.g. Table 1; [Eq. (1)] or, in text, Equation (1); (Figure 1); (Scheme 1). Please start these words with a capital letter, and do not use Roman but Arabic numerals. o Abbreviations and acronyms should be used sparingly and consistently. Where they first appear in the text, the complete term—apart from very common terms such as NMR, IR, and tBu— should also be given. In articles that include a large number of abbreviations and acronyms, a glossary may be included at the end. o Crystallographic data for organic and organometallic compounds: Before submission of the manuscript, send your data including author and journal details in cif format as a plain-text ASCII file by e-mail to: [email protected]. The data will be assigned a registry number, which should be included with the following standard text in the manuscript: CCDC ... contains the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper. These data can be obtained free of charge from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data_request/cif. o Crystallographic data for inorganic compounds: FIZ accepts only data deposited in electronic form (in CIP format). Before submitting your manuscript, send the data directly to FIZ by following the instructions at http://www.fiz-karlsruhe.com/depositing_crystal_structures.html?&L=1 The following standard text should be included in the manuscript: Further details of the crystal structure investigation(s) may be obtained from the Fachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe, 76344 Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany (fax: (+49) 7247-808-666; e-mail: [email protected]) on quoting the deposition number CSD-... (numbers CSD-... , -... , -... , and -...). o If you use LaTeX, please send us the full set of required LaTeX files, including any aux and bib files if applicable. See instructions on our homepage. Do not include your own styles or classes. Do not use RevTeX or any other nonstandard packages. 2.2 Notes for specific article types 2.2.1 Reviews o Please provide a biographical sketch (500 to 700 characters) and a portrait black-and-white photograph of each correspondence author. o Please provide a suggestion for a rectangular picture ("frontispiece") 18 cm in width by 19.5 cm in height to face the first page of the Review. o When re-using figures from other publications, please ensure that you have permission from the copyright holder to use the image. See the publisher's website for information on how to obtain permission. 4 2.2.2 Minireviews o Please provide a biographical sketch (500 to 700 characters) and a portrait black-and-white photograph of each correspondence author. o When re-using figures from other publications, please ensure that you have permission from the copyright holder to use the image. See the publisher's website for information on how to obtain permission. 2.2.3 Highlights and Communications o Except for an Experimental Section in Communications, the main body of these article types should not be divided into sections. 2.3 Formatting the text o American English is the preferred spelling. Authors are asked to make their manuscripts suitable for a heterogeneous readership and to be considerate to those readers for whom English is a foreign language—please use a simple, clear style, and
