This issue will consist of a series of Communications and Feature Articles from prominent scientists working on all aspects of ionic liquid chemistry. The scope will range from new fundamental knowledge about ionic liquids to novel applications of ionic liquids which take advantage of their unique attributes. Follow on studies or those of routine interest will not be considered.

The level of quality of this issue will be extremely high, and all manuscripts will undergo strict peer review. You are therefore encouraged to report work that you consider to be very important and conceptually significant in accord with the ChemComm mandate. Please note that inclusion in the issue is subject to the discretion of the guest editors.

Submit your work before 29^th February 2012. Please add “ionic liquids” in the comments to the editor section.

We are delighted to announce a forthcoming ChemComm–Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) web themed issue:

Organocatalysis

Guest editors: Keiji Maruoka (Kyoto University), Hisashi Yamamoto (University of Chicago), Liu-Zhu Gong (University of Science and Technology of China) and Benjamin List (Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung)

Submission deadline: 29th February 2012

We are now inviting submissions for this web theme, which will be a celebration of current achievements and future perspectives in this exciting field of research.

ChemComm and OBC are both welcoming urgent communications; OBC also welcomes full papers. Please feel free to submit to either or both journals.

All manuscripts will undergo strict peer review and should be very important and conceptually significant in accord with the ChemComm and OBC mandates.

Publication of the peer-reviewed articles will occur without delay to ensure the timely dissemination of the work. The articles will then be assembled on the RSC Publishing Platform as a web-based thematic issue, to permit readers to consult and download individual contributions from the entire series.

Communications for this web theme can be submitted anytime from now until 29th February using ChemComm‘s and OBC‘s web submission system. Please add the phrase ‘organocatalysis web theme‘ in the comments to the editor field.

Carbon nanostructures for solar energy conversion schemes

29 Sep 2010

Developing environmentally friendly, renewable energy is one of the challenges to society in the 21st century. One of the renewable energy technologies is solar energy conversion — a technology that directly converts daylight into electricity.

In their ChemComm Highlight in Chemistry, Dirk Guldi and Vito Sgobba survey recent breakthroughs in implementing carbon nanostructures — fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanohorns and graphene — into solar energy conversion schemes, that is, bulk heterojunction and dye-sensitised solar cells. Read the article today and let us know what you think by leaving a comment.

Carbon nanostructures

2011 is the International Year of Chemistry (IYC 2011), a worldwide celebration of the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to the well-being of humankind. ChemComm is marking IYC 2011 by publishing a series of ‘Highlights in Chemistry’. For more information visit the the ChemComm and IYC 2011 website.
