Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission
Kluwer Academic Publishers request the submission of manuscripts and figures in electronic form in addition to a hardcopy printout. The preferred storage medium for your electronic manuscript is a 3 1/2 inch diskette. Please label your diskette properly, giving exact details on the name(s) of the file(s), the operating system and software used. Always save your electronic manuscript in the word processor format that you use; conversions to other formats and versions tend to be imperfect. In general, use as few formatting codes as possible. For safety‘s sake, you should always retain a backup copy of your file(s). After acceptance, please make absolutely sure that you send the latest (i.e., revised) version of your manuscript, both as hard-copy printout and on diskette (submission in electronic form of the final version of your article is compulsory).
Kluwer Academic Publishers prefer articles submitted in word processing packages such as MS Word, WordPerfect, etc. running under operating systems MS DOS, Windows and Apple Macintosh, or in the file format LaTeX. Articles submitted in other software programs can also be accepted.
For submission in LaTeX, Kluwer Academic Publishers have developed a Kluwer LaTeX class file, which can be downloaded from: http://www.wkap.nl/authors/jrnlstylefiles/
Use of this class file is highly recommended. Do not use versions downloaded from other sites. Technical support is available at: texhelp@wkap.nl.
For the purpose of reviewing, articles for publication should be submitted as hard-copy printout (2-fold) and on diskette to: Editor-in-Chief

Manuscript Presentation
The journal‘s language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should be printed or typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving adequate margins on all sides to allow reviewer‘s remarks. Please double-space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left-hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.
Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
- running head (shortened title)
- article type
- title
- author(s)
- affiliation(s)
- full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e-mail address
Abstract
Please provide a short abstract of 100 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
Key Words
Please provide 5 to 10 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order.
Article Types
Communications, Full papers, Reviews.
Symbols and Units
Common abbreviations for chemical groups should be used in formulae wherever possible (but not in the text). R = organic group; Me = methyl; Et = ethyl; Pr (with n- ori-) = propyl; Bu (with n, i-, s-, or t-) = butyl; Ph = phenyl; Ac = acetyl; Bz = benzoyl; Cp = cyclopentadienyl; M (not Me) = metal as in MBr4 ; L = ligand. Subscripts should be avoided where possible by using symbols in parentheses on the line, e.g. J(1H-31P) and v(C-C1). Coordination numbers of metals should be written as in platinum(II) (not as in platinumII), but in formulae, superscripts are appropriate, e.g. PtII.
Nomenclature
Use of symbols, units and names of compounds should comply with the rules of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). These rules may be found in: Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units. Butterworths, London, 1970. Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd Edit., Butterworths, London, 1971. Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, Sections A, B and C, Butterworths, London, 1969. The following publications is a very useful guide: R. S. Cahn, Introduction to Chemical Nomenclature, 4th Edit., Butterworths, London, 1974.
Figures and TablesSubmission of electronic figures
In addition to hard-copy printouts of figures, authors are requested to supply the electronic versions of figures in either Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or TIFF format. Many other formats, e.g., Microsoft Postscript, PiCT (Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), cannot be used and the hard copy will be scanned instead.
Figures should be saved in separate files without their captions, which should be included with the text of the article. Files should be named according to DOS conventions, e.g. ’figure1.eps‘. For vector graphics EPS is the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25pts and in-fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10%. Font-related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman and Helvetica. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format but EPS is also acceptable. The following resolutions are optimal: black-and-white line figures - 600 - 1200 dpi; line figures with some grey or coloured lines - 600 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as is. Higher resolutions will not improve output quality but will only increase file size, which may cause problems with printing; lower resolutions may compromise output quality. Please try to provide artwork that approximately fits within the typeset area of the journal. Especially screened originals, i.e. originals with grey areas, may suffer badly from reduction by more than 10-15%. AVOIDING PROBLEMS WITH EPS GRAPHICS
Please always check whether the figures print correctly to a PostScript printer in a reasonable amount of time. If they do not, simplify your figures or use a different graphics program. If EPS export does not produce acceptable output, try to create an EPS file with the printer driver (see below). This option is unavailable with the Microsoft driver for Windows NT, so if you run Windows NT, get the Adobe driver from the Adobe site (www.adobe.com).
If EPS export is not an option, e.g. because you rely on OLE and cannot create separate files for your graphics, it may help us if you simply provide a PostScript dump of the entire document. HOW TO SET UP FOR EPS AND POSTSCRIPT DUMPS UNDER WINDOWS
Create a printer entry specifically for this purpose: install the printer ’Apple Laserwriter Plus‘ and specify ’FILE‘: as printer port. Each time you send something to the ’printer‘ you will be asked for a filename. This file will be the EPS file or PostScript dump that we can use.
The Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) export option can be found under the PostScript tab. EPS export should be used only for single-page documents. For printing a document of several pages, select ’Optimise for portability‘ instead. The option ’Download header with each job‘ should be checked. Submission of hard-copy figures
Please submit high-quality artwork that can be reproduced as is, i.e., without any part having to be redrawn or re-typeset. The letter size of any text in the figures must be large enough to allow for reduction. Photographs should be in black-and-white on glossy paper. If a figure contains colour, make absolutely clear whether it should be printed in black-and-white or in colour. Figures that are to be printed in black-and-white should not be submitted in colour. Authors will be charged for reproducing figures in colour.
Each figure and table should be numbered and mentioned in the text. The approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the margin of the manuscript. On the reverse side of each figure, the name of the (first) author and the figure number should be written in pencil; the top of the figure should be clearly indicated. Figures and tables should be placed at the end of the manuscript following the Reference section. Each figure and table should be accompanied by an explanatory legend. The figure legends should be grouped and placed on a separate page. Figures are not returned to the author unless specifically requested.
In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table.
Section Headings
First-, second-, third-, and fourth-order headings should be clearly distinguishable but not numbered. Manuscripts should be divided into the following sections: (a) Introduction: setting out the reasons for the work, a description of the problem under investigation and a brief survey of existing literature of the subject.
(b) Results and discussion
(c) Experimental (Materials and methods)
(d) References
Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections.
Notes
Please use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text and listed at the end of the article before the References. A source reference note should be indicated by an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page.
Cross-Referencing
In the text, a reference identified by means of an author‘s name should be followed by the reference number in square brackets. When there are more than two authors, only the first author‘s name should be mentioned, followed by ’et al.‘. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like ’a‘ and ’b‘ after the date to distinguish the works. Examples:
Winograd [1]
Bullen and Bennett [2]
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.
References
References to books, journal articles, articles in collections and conference or workshop proceedings, and technical reports should be listed at the end of the paper in numbered order. Articles in preparation or articles submitted for publication, unpublished observations, personal communications, etc. should not be included in the reference list but should only be mentioned in the article text (e.g., T. Moore, personal communication).

Deposition of Crystallographic Data
Transition Metal Chemistry will accept for publication papers containing or comprising the results of crystal structure determinations which will be of interest to transition metal chemists. Papers reporting only crystallographic results must relate to work of novelty or special significance to the chemistry, which must be emphasised. The following procedures should be followed:
Prior to the submission of the manuscript, the author(s) should deposit with the relevant Data Centre the data corresponding to each structure to be reported in the intending publication. Data for metal organic structures, ie those which contain organic carbon in any of the species present in the structure, (including metal carbonyls) should be sent to the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) by e-mail (address: deposit@ccdc.cam.ac.uk) preferably in CIF format. A checklist of data items to be included in the deposition can be obtained from the CCDC Home Page on the Worldwide Web (http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/) or by e-mail (to fileserv@ ccdc.cam.ac.uk) with the one line message sendme checklist. Data for inorganic compounds should be sent to Fachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe (FIZ) by e-mail (address: crysdata @FIZ-Karlsruhe.de), by FTP (please contact FIZ if you choose this option) or on disk. No hard copy submissions will be accepted. The Data Centres will provide, within a day or two of submission, deposition codes for each data set, which should be quoted in suitable form in the manuscript submitted to the Journal. The deposited data will be accessed by the Journal and checked as part of the refereeing process.
When the paper is submitted to the Journal, the following guidelines should be adhered to:
- The title should contain reference to the presence in the paper of X-ray crystallographic results.
- The abstract should not contain crystal data, but should include a concise statement of the main features of the structural results.
- The experimental results must be presented in a concise format. In general, authors should not include a detailed text description of data collection, crystal structure solution and refinement, especially if these followed standard procedures and no difficulties were met. Reference to a previous paper containing a more detailed experimental description can be given if relevant. However, if any parts of the structure analysis were unusual, and affected the presentation and/or accuracy of the results, then these should be discussed. The following crystallographic data should be given, all contained in a paragraph (if one structure reported) or Table (two or more structures).
i) Colour, habit and size of crystals used, and behaviour of compound under ambient conditions if not mentioned elsewhere in the paper.
ii) Chemical Formula. This should correspond to the complete chemical unit encompassing crystallographic symmetry (eg a centro- symmetric dimer should be included in full form). The use of fractional coeffcients (eg 0.5H2 O) should be used only if the unit has partial occupancy of its site. Formulae should be presented in a way that molecules, ionic fragments, solvate molecules etc. are separately identified.
iii) Unit cell parameters with esd‘s, and X-ray wavelength used.
iv) Crystal system, space group and number of complete chemical units (see ii) per cell.
v) Type of diffractometer used and method of data collection; total number of data collected, excluding any intensity controls, number unique, Rint value, number observed (with cut-off parameter) and completeness of data to suitable 2h or sin h/k limit; use or otherwise of absorption correction.
vi) Final results. Give values of R, Rw (and their definitions) and number of parameters. Indicate form of refinement (F or F2) and treatment of hydrogens. Note that easily derived parameters (Fwt, F(000), l, Dx) should not be given unless required in discussion of other data (eg number of solvent molecules, etc).
Discussion of the Structure
This must include a clear, labelled diagram of the structure (molecule, complexion or unit cell contents if the structure is polymeric) and a list of relevant geometry parameters - interatomic distances, interbond angles, torsion angles etc. Data for geometrically less important parts of the structure, such as ligand sub groups (phenyl rings, alkyl groups etc) should not be given. Packing diagrams of crystal structures of ’’molecular‘‘ compounds should not be given unless there are chemically important intermolecular interactions.
Supplementary Material
It is not necessary to submit copies of the Supplementary Material with the manuscript if the above procedures have been followed. However, authors are recommended to submit with the manuscript, as supplementary sheets, not for publication, any further information which they feel may aid the refereeing process, particularly if any of the usual quality-of-structure indicators point to problems in the analysis.
