An article in a Royal Society of 深夜福利国产精品 journal is an article that drives change.
For your field, it might be the key to solving a problem. For the wider community, it is a contribution to improving publishing culture, and to upholding the highest standards for science.
As a not-for-profit publisher working with, and for, chemical science researchers, the more we publish, the more we can help.
Celebrating 200 Years of Benzene
This year, the benzene molecule will mark its 200th anniversary since Michael Faraday's seminal discovery. Benzene is an iconic and ubiquitous molecule in chemistry 鈥� one that has profoundly shaped the modern world.
This collection will take a broad perspective on carbon-based systems, for both fundamental and applied research, that can be regarded as benzene鈥檚 direct heirs.
The collection will focus on:
- the concepts of aromaticity and antiaromaticity, as well as on molecular and material systems predominantly composed of carbon. This includes Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), nanographenes derived from top-down synthesis, molecular nanographenes from bottom-up synthesis, graphene and its derivatives (graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide), as well as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and benzene-based molecular machines. Additionally, the scope extends to (anti)aromatic compounds synthesized via on-surface methodologies.
If you are interested, please contact us with the name of the journal you would like to contribute to. If you have any questions, we would be delighted to send you more information. If you are unsure which journal would be the most suitable for your work or would like to check a topic鈥檚 suitability for a journal, we would be happy to help.
