Aims & Scope

Nature Synthesis aims to bring together researchers from all areas of chemical and materials synthesis, publishing work based on organic, inorganic, organometallic and materials chemistry as well as interdisciplinary studies at the interfaces between these disciplines. The journal will be focused on the development of new synthetic methods and approaches, together with the preparation of molecular- or materials-based products that have practical value or that extend our conceptual understanding of chemical or material systems. Nature Synthesis will publish technological advances of importance to synthetic chemists and material scientists. These technologies will reveal more efficient or advantageous routes to chemical compounds and materials.
