special issues
Acta Crystallographica Section C publishes focused special sections and issues devoted to all areas of structural chemistry.
The journal has published exciting special issues on topics as diverse as
The journal also publishes curated collections from its archive, or virtual issues. The third virtual issue featured coordination polymers, with an introduction by Len Barbour.
If you would like to see a special issue on a particular topic enabled by the determination, calculation or analysis of small-molecule crystal and molecular structures in the chemical sciences, please send your suggestion to the Managing Editor (Sean Conway; sc@iucr.org).
Previously published special issues
Acta Crystallographica Section C has published four special issues on the topics listed below with the aim of expanding the scope and authorship of the journal. It is hoped that the special issues will demonstrate to the scientific community the style of papers that the journal is now inviting. Acta Crystallographica Section C: Structural Chemistry is the journal of choice for publishing any interesting research enabled by the determination, calculation or analysis of small-molecule crystal and molecular structures in the chemical sciences.
