Notice to Authors 1. Forwarding Address. Manuscripts for publication should be addressed t o George H . Coleman, Editor, D e partment of Chemistry, Wayne Stiate University, Detroit 2, Michigan.
together as concisely as possible. Compounds reported in Communications should nonetheless be characterized by physical constants and analyses or literature references as in Articles.
2. Subject Matter and Manuscript Classes. T h e Journal invites new and original contributions, n o t previously published, on researches in organic chemistry. Articles are t o be comprehensive and critical accounts of work in a given field. Notes are to be brief, concise accounts of fragmentary or less complete studies. Communications to t h e Editor afford a mechanism for presenting significant advances in t h e field which warrant immediate publication. Timeliness and significance are essential requirements; t h e length must n o t exceed 500 words. Interpretive reviews of existing data which present new viewpoints are acceptable whereas reviews of t h e pure compilation type are n o t . Suggestions b y authors with respect t o referees for their manuscripts will be appreciated.
Both literature citations and explanatory notes are included in footnotes, a n d must therefore be numbered in one consecutive series. I n t h e text, footnotes are indicated as unparenthesized superscripts. T h e footnotes m a y be placed, suitably offset, following the line of text in which they are cited, or they m a y be grouped in numerical order at t h e end of t h e manuscript. A footnote giving t h e name and address of t h e author to whom inquiries should be directed m a y be included if such information is n o t obvious from t h e heading. Abbreviations of journals should be those used by Chemical Abstracts (see "List of Periodicals Abstracted b y Chemical Abstracts").

3. Preparation of Manuscripts. Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate and must be typewritten doublespaced on substantial paper; mimeographed copies and others made by a permanent duplication process are acceptable. Authors should consult recent issues of the Journal as a guide t o format. Please note t h a t t h e format differs for Articles, Notes, and Communications. Articles should be preceded by a brief abstract. Articles and Notes should have t h e Experimental section clearly set apart, and should use other center headings sparingly. Communications should n o t be divided into sections, b u t should contain experimental descriptions and necessary discussion grouped
