Acta Crystallographica Section C: Structural Chemistry publishes science with structural content, in particular, important results relating to the chemical sciences. Structural Chemistry is the journal of choice for the rapid publication of articles that highlight interesting research facilitated by the determination, calculation or analysis of structures.

These results may have been obtained by crystallographic techniques, such as electron, powder and X-ray diffraction, or by other techniques, including but not limited to spectroscopic and computational studies. Articles may report important new structural information on any type of chemical species, including polymorphs, coordination polymers, inorganics and minerals, liquid crystals, nanostructures, pharmaceutical compounds and natural products. The journal also publishes knowledge-based discovery studies, using available data to identify novel connections or solutions via computational methods and data analysis techniques.

We welcome articles that integrate both theoretical and experimental approaches. These studies should aim to connect the structural observations with the properties, activity and reactivity of the molecule being investigated. Authors are encouraged to discuss the significance and implications of the compounds studied. We also encourage the submission of short best-practice articles reviewing any aspect of crystallography or the interpretation of structural results.
