Licence
article.cls: LaTeX Project Public License (installed with TeX). The sample text is Royal Society of Chemistry's, provided for authors preparing a submission.

Already written for another journal? Bring the paper into Manulyx and convert it to Chemical Communications’s template in one step: the text, figures, tables and references move across, and the converted paper is compiled before it is saved.

Compiles as it stands. A project made from this starts from Royal Society of Chemistry’s own package — the manuscript, article.cls and the bibliography style that come with it — so what compiles here is what the package gives you.

The same package serves 1 other title. Check the journal’s own author pages for its current instructions.

Where this differs from the download.

  • Changed: main.tex: the title was typed into the header as literal text, so a project title never reached it; the sample now sets itle{...} after the preamble hyperref line and prints it in the same place, in the same style, with csname @titleendcsname. Nothing else in the template is changed (amendrsc.mjs, 2026-11-08, as for the RSC article template).
  • Note: Use of the template is optional; communications are re-typeset in RSC house style. Full papers in RSC journals use the RSC article template.
