We are delighted to announce that the Royal Society of Chemistry’s newest journal, Reaction Chemistry & Engineering, is now open for submissions – read the full announcement here.
To celebrate this, we’ve put together a collection of some of the most exciting recent reaction chemistry papers in Royal Society of Chemistry journals. All the articles in the collection are currently free to access.
We hope that you enjoy reading this collection of great reaction chemistry. After you’re done, why not explore the scope of Reaction Chemistry & Engineering and send us your own best reaction chemistry research now for the chance of being included in our very first issue?
