Published by Nature Publishing Group, Nature Chemistry is a new monthly journal of primary research, review articles, and news covering analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry; catalysis; computational and theoretical chemistry; environmental chemistry; green chemistry; medicinal chemistry; nuclear chemistry; polymer chemistry; supramolecular chemistry; surface chemistry; and bioinorganic, bioorganic, organometallic, and physical-organic chemistry.
Nature Chemistry provides several innovative features to support its focus on the research article:
- compound structures submitted by authors are redrawn to be machine-readable and are converted to International Chemical Identifiers, or InChIs, alphanumeric representations of chemical structures (see The IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI™)),
- pop-up images of chemical structures appear in articles and link to enhanced compound pages, and
- the compound pages include Chemdraw files, 3-D structures, elemental analysis, links to external resources, and additional information.
For a sense of how the 3-D features work, click links "5" and "6" in Figure 2 of the article, "Minimal nucleotide duplex formation in water through enclathration in self-assembled hosts," then click "View in 3D."
See the press release, "Nature Chemistry's first issue reinvents how NPG publishes chemistry," to learn more.
