Aims & Scope

Aims

Molbank (ISSN 1422-8599) is a communication journal of synthetic chemistry and natural product chemistry. The primary aim of Molbank is to provide a depository of chemical information that will facilitate the chemists of tomorrow in their research and discovery. It publishes two types of report, namely “Short Notes”, which report data for previously unpublished single molecules (one compound per paper), and “Communications” of preliminary but significant results that can involve more than a single compound. For “Short Notes”, the journal offers a home for experimental data related to individual compounds, which is not typically publishable. Reports that concentrate primarily on the structure determinations of novel compounds are also a feature of the journal. Articles that provide a detailed discussion of the properties or uses of the molecules presented do not fall within the remit of the journal. Examples include reports that have a focus on the biological activity or the materials chemistry applications of the compounds. Such reports are better suited for publication in other journals.

Scope

• organic synthesis and biosynthesis
• natural product isolation and derivatization
• structural elucidation (X-ray crystallography, NMR, etc.)
