Crystal Structural Analysis
Authors are required to (a) check the quality of their CIFs through the checkCIF website prior to submission of their manuscript, (b) submit CIFs and structure factor tables to the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) prior to submission and provide the CCDC access code(s) upon submission, (c) provide the checkCIF output file (as a PDF uploaded as Supporting Information for Review Only), and (d) address any A and/or B level alerts in the checkCIF PDF and consider inserting their comments directly into CIFs.
Submitting a copy of the output as Supporting Information for Review is mandatory. Authors with appropriate software may alternatively use IUCRVAL or the CHECK validation tool in PLATON. Prior to manuscript submission, the author(s) must deposit their data or update data already available, so that referees can retrieve the information electronically directly from the database. Crystallographic data should be deposited with either the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) for organic and organometallic compounds or with the Fachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe (FIZ) for inorganic compounds, elements, metals, and minerals. Guidelines for depositing data can be found on the Chinese Journal of Structural Chemistry homepage. If a crystal structure analysis is an essential part of the paper, crystallographic data should be given in an order as follows: triclinic, space group P1, a = 11.1348(7), b = 12.2599(7), c = 20.2479(13) Å, α = 82.448(2)°, β = 76.433(2)°, γ = 74.5025(19)°, V = 2582.3(3) Å3, Z = 2, μ = 0.585 mm-1.
