I am going to be at WATOC in Oslo this coming Monday through to Wednesday and would love to chat with any attendees about experiences publishing (be that in Chemical Science, RSC journals, or otherwise!).
Feel free to send me a message here or come by the RSC booth!
And if anyone is looking for a paper (or a few) to read on the flight, I recommend checking out our themed collection of most popular #ChemSci work from 2024 in this area!

Nominations for the Chemical Science Lectureship are closing on the 1st of March!
We are looking for researchers in the area of imaging, biosensing or diagnostics, that have published in Chemical Science in the past 5 years.

Interesting conclusions in this paper!
"The potential energy differences between “forbidden” and “allowed” transition states are found to cover a wide range of values, with the smallest being less than half the classical barrier to internal rotation of ethane."
https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2025/sc/d4sc08748h
Which means that when planning e.g. total synthesis, aiming only for the "allowed" route might not be a good strategy since other factors such as sterics, NCIs, electronic effects may favour the "forbidden" route.
So are these classifications actually helpful?

Chemical Science is celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2025! We are publishing a special collection showcasing work from leading investigators from across all areas of chemistry who started their independent careers in the 15 years since
https://bsky.app/profile/chemsci.rsc.org was launched!Read the 15th Anniversary: Chemical Science Leading Investigators collection here: https://rsc.li/sc-15li25
We hope that you enjoy reading this selection of articles, and that we can continue to provide an open and inclusive venue for researchers from across the chemical sciences for many years to come!
Check out some of the great articles already published in the collection:

Aryliminopyrazoles are a novel class of imine-based photoswitches reported by https://bsky.app/profile/jakeylg.bsky.social and co-workers at The Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg.
These species were detailed in a #ChemSci Pick of the Week earlier this year!

In our ChemSci Pick of the Week, Jeremiah Gassensmith et al. (University of Texas at Dallas, USA) show that the biomimetic mineralisation of the inert model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) in zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) significantly improves the humoral immune response over three bolus doses of OVA (OVA 3×).

In the #ChemSci Pick of the Week, Rafael Martín-Rapún and Scott G. Mitchell et al. present the principal synthetic routes to prepare and characterise polyoxometalate (POM)-peptide hybrids.
The perspective highlights how their properties, for example redox chemistry, stereochemistry and supramolecular self-assembly, give rise to materials with relevant catalytic, adhesive and biomedical applications.
