From Argentina to New Zealand, Korea to USA, scientists around the world have shown their support for RSC Advances by submitting their work. Our first issue is online now and access is free.*
Communications, full papers and reviews are all represented in the mix that encompasses all the main areas of the chemical sciences. But finding the articles that are most relevant to you won’t be a problem: our sophisticated behind-the-scenes topic modelling classifies the content into one or more of twelve subject categories, accessible via the subject tab on the website.
Among the highlights in this issue:
- Al Postigo (Buenos Aires) reviews radical syntheses in water to make a wide array of organic compounds
- Rueping and Volla from RWTH Aachen report on a one-pot, highly stereoselective synthesis of indoloquinolizidines
- Sally Brooker et al deliver their findings on the spin states of two iron (II) complexes of 4-phenylpyrazole-5-carbaldehyde derived ligands
- Craig Banks, winner of the 2011 Harrison-Meldola Memorial Prize, and co-authors show that carbon nanotubes can electrochemically detect biologically-important molecules
Marcos Eberlin, who is one of RSC Advances’ Associate Editors, has demonstrated his support through publishing his work on charge-tagged N-heterocyclic carbenes.
Of the first issue Marcos commented: “Very nice collection indeed … The subject tab is superb!”
Plus, Editorial Board Chair Mike Ward and RSC Publishing Editor Sarah Ruthven share their aspirations for the journal in the Editorial.
