New NJC Editorial Policy

30 Sep 2010

By Denise Parent, Managing Editor.

NJC’s new editorial policy unveiled…read all about it here.

In an editorial published in the October 2010 issue, NJC’s editors inform its readers, authors and reviewers about the new editorial policy now in place. The emphasis is on high quality, innovative work that is multi- or inter-disciplinary.

Authors have two formats in which to communicate their original research results: short Letters with a single message and longer full Papers recounting the full story.

Joining the Perspective reviews will be the short Focus reviews, highlighting a topic of current interest in chemistry.

15 Sep 2010

By Marie Cote, Deputy Editor.

Letizia Sambri, Luisa de Cola and coworkers investigated the hydrogelation of terpyridine derivatives, a rare class of low molecular weight gelators for which the gelation is promoted by ultrasound, and whose gel properties – such as emission – can be tuned by the addition of metals.

Homogeneous catalyst immobilization for record recyclability

15 Sep 2010

By Marie Cote, Deputy Editor.

In this NJC Letter, Janet Blümel and colleagues discuss the design of a linker scaffold that prevents the immobilized Rh catalyst from being deactivated by dimerization or contact with the support surface. Using a multipoint attachment approach, the authors show how the catalyst can be recycled for a record 30 times.

Prof Jiannian Yao

The CNRS Institute of Chemistry and RSC Publishing are pleased to announce the appointment of Prof. Jiannian Yao of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to the Editorial Board of NJC.

In accepting the invitation Prof. Yao replied:

“I am very glad to participate to the Editorial Board of the New Journal of Chemistry and to assist the Managing Editors in developing and promoting the journal in a variety of ways.”

Jiannian Yao was born in Fujian, P. R. China, in 1953. He received his B.S. degree in chemistry from Fujian Normal University in 1982 and then remained as a lecturer for five years. In 1988, he went to Tokyo University, Japan, obtaining his Ph.D. degree with Prof. Akira Fujishima in 1993. In 1995, he became an associate professor in the Institute of Photographic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and was promoted to full professor in 1996. In 1999 he joined the Institute of Chemistry, CAS, as a professor and deputy director. He is currently serving as a permanent member and general secretary of the Chinese Chemical Society (CCS) and is the vice president of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). His research interests are focused on low-dimensional organic/inorganic optofunctional materials and he is the author of 270 articles.

NJC’s staff and Boards wish a warm welcome to Prof. Yao and look forward to a fruitful collaboration.
