Organic Synthesis and Biosynthesis
A section of Molbank (ISSN 1422-8599).
Section Information
This section of the journal is dedicated to reports of the synthesis and characterization of novel organic compounds and forms the mainstay of Molbank. Molecules may belong to any product class within organic chemistry. Submissions may also present the generation of a metal complex of the organic compound, but attention should be focused on the preparation and characterization of the ligand itself. Reports of inorganic compounds or materials chemistry do not fall withing the scope of the journal. All submissions should contain an element of novelty in order to fit the aims of the journal, and manuscripts describing the synthesis of a known compound are considered only if both of the following criteria are met: (a) the compound must be of extraordinary general interest; and (b) its synthesis was significantly improved. All types of newly synthesized organic compounds that can be defined as single chemical entities with a unique systematic name (following the IUPAC naming rules) are welcome. Short Notes should contain data for a single compound; however, Communications do not have this restriction but there is an increased emphasis on novelty in the synthetic approach.
