ANALYST, JANUARY 1991, VOL. 116 101 BOOK REVIEWS Ion Chromatography Hamish Small. Modern Analytical Chemistry. Pp. xii + 276. Plenum Press. 1990. Price $49.50. ISBN 0 306 4329 0. Hamish Small is regarded as the father of ion chromato- graphy, a technique first described in 1975. It is surprising that he has not already written a book on the subject. This is a book of theory for those ion chromatographers who do not have a background in high-performance liquid chromatography. All the basic theory of ion exchange and chromatography is discussed and treated mathematically. Similar treatment is given to the other types of separation now classed as ion chromatography such as ion-pair and ion-exclusion chromato- graphy. The nature of the column materials used in ion chromatography is described in some detail and a large section covers detection and detectors. This ranges from a discussion of signal to noise ratios to descriptions of detectors such as conductivity with chemically suppressed background, amper- ometry, and direct and reverse ultraviolet absorption.Many of the phenomena observed in ion chromatography are explained, e.g., the ‘water dip’ and the fact that sensitivity increases with concentration when suppressed conductivity is used with carbonate eluents. It is difficult to think of any aspect that is not discussed. All the chapters are well referenced although some pre- 1975 ion chromatography authors are missing, e.g., Dionex workers are given credit for pioneering conductivity detection in ion-exclusion chromatography whereas it had been pub- lished in Talanta in 1969 by Goodman, Lewis and Taylor and possibly by others.Another small criticism of the book is that the index is not as complete as it could be. The book concludes with a chapter on applications in which the range of species that can be separated is illustrated. Again, a theoretical approach is taken with detailed descriptions of the processes involved in effecting the separation and detect- ing the separated species. Although all the main classes of compounds are mentioned it is by no means a full enough guide to decide how to separate A from B in matrix C. Other books exist which are more helpful in the choice of methods for samples. This book provides the theoretical background and explanations missing in the ‘cookery books’ and some manufacturers’ application notes.D. Mealor Methods for Analysis of Musts and Wines. Second Edition C. S. Ough and M. A. Amerine. Pp. 377. Wiley- Interscience. 1988. Price f67.50. ISBN 0 471 62757 7. The scientific study of wine, oenology, is dominated by Continental European schools and by the University of California. The latter establishment is largely responsible for the modern revitalization of the subject, with the consequent overall improvements in wine quality, and Ough and Amerine are two of the University’s leading oenologists. The first edition of this book has become a standard work of reference for laboratories engaged in the analysis of grape- musts, wines and spirits. This second edition follows the format of its predecessor, consisting of chapters devoted to chemically related analytes or oenologically related proper- ties. Examples of the chapter headings include: ‘Soluble Solids’; ‘Acidity and Individual Acids’; ‘Alcohols’; ‘Carbonyl Compounds’; ‘Esters’; and a survey of analytical equipment.Each chapter is made up of monographs concerned with individual analytes or properties, each monograph giving a short account of the occurrence, biochemical origin and relative importance of the analyte to the character of a wine. The heart of the book is its description, in full detail, of the methods for determining the desired analyte or property. Several methods are given for the most important analytes, ranging from traditional chemical procedures to instrumental (often chromatographic) and enzymic where appropriate. The scope, sensitivity and selectivity of each is discussed, so that if confronted with the need to determine an unfamiliar analyte, this book is the place to start.It is the best single source of the methods available and is suitable for most laboratories and circumstances. The authors identify officially approved methods and quote the current legal maxima for controlled analytes. These should be treated with some caution and used only to indicate that controls exist, because of the rapid change in national and European Community regulations. Indeed, diethyleneglycol makes its appearance in this edition only because of the so-called ‘antifreeze’ scandal and its regulatory aftermath. Overall this is a well referenced, well indexed book and a worthy successor to its predecessor which can be recom- mended to everyone concerned with wine and spirits analysis.C. P. Richards Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (70th Edition) Edited by Robert C. Weast, David R. Lide, Melvin J. Astle and William H. Beyer. CRC Press. 1989. Price f73.00. ISBN 0 8493 0470 9. The 70th Edition of the CRC Press ‘Rubber Handbook’ contains all of the features that make this series so useful. These include brief descriptions of the elements, the table of Physical Constants of Inorganic Compounds, the heats of fusion of inorganic compounds, the Table of the Isotopes, the physical constants of organic compounds and the structural formulae of organic compounds, among many, many other items. The book is well presented in the usual leather binding and will be an invaluable aid to all practising chemists.Roger Young Reviews on lmmunoassay Technology. Volume 3 Edited by S. B. Pal. Pp. viii + 173. Macmillan. 1989. Price f45.00. ISBN 0 333 49795 3. This multi-author volume consists of ten chapters contributed by authors from Europe, Japan, the USA and the USSR. The book covers a diverse range of topics on immunological assays and techniques. The first two chapters review methods for isolating antigen-specific B lymphocytes and the second sub-component of the first complement component, respect- ively. Both chapters give comprehensive and practical infor- mation on the procedures involved. There is an interesting contribution by two authors from the USSR describing how antibodies to respiratory pathogens can be evaluated and quantified for epidemiological as well as for more clinically orientated studies.Tests involving haemagglutination inhi- bition and the more recent ELISA techniques are described. There are three chapters in the book describing novel approaches to what is conventionally called immunoassays (as opposed to immunological techniques). The preparation and use of liposomes, either conjugated to antigens or antibodies102 ANALYST, JANUARY 1991, VOL. 116 or as carriers of reporter molecules in diagnostic immunoas- says, are described. Several different types of homogeneous enzyme immunoassays which utilize enzyme (P-galactosidase) sub-units prepared by recombinant DNA techniques are described in another chapter. The sub-units are only enzymic- ally active when aggregated together, a process inhibited if antibody binding to an antigen-labelled sub-unit intervenes. The use of enzyme channelling and immunochromatography to produce simple and rapid, competitive and sandwich immunoassays is illustrated in another contribution. The book also contains three useful reviews on the use of immunological reagents for staining antigens and antibodies in tissues and cells.Immunocytochemical techniques, including direct and indirect methods utilizing immunoperoxidase, immunoflu- orescence, avididbiotin and ferritin and immunogold labels for light and electron microscopy, are reviewed. The applica- tions described include double labelling of antigens, localiza- tion of peroxisomal enzymes and the visualization of viral antigens and antibodies.Finally, there is a chapter (which appears to be a little out of date) describing a procedure and computer program for the interpolation of immunoassay dose response curves. The volume under review is a well presented and illustrated book. However, it is unlikely that it would be of interest in its entirety to any one individual reader because of the wide range of topics it covers. Each chapter gives a relatively short but clear and concise insight into a subject and it is therefore the type of book that will be consulted, from time to time, by newcomers to a particular field of interest or by students during their course of study. Readers should, however, be aware that recent references to the literature (after 1985-86) were remarkably few and the information given in the various contributions should be supplemented by reference to the more recent scientific literature. G.Wynne Aherne Packings and Stationary Phases in Chromatographic Techniques Edited by Klaus K. Unger. Chromatographic Science Series Volume 47. Pp. viii + 836. Marcel Dekker. 1990. Price $150.00 (USA and Canada); $180.00 (Export). ISBN 0 8247 7940 1. Since the inception of the Marcel Dekker monograph series on Chromatographic Science, with the publication of Calvin Giddings’ excellent account of the dynamics of chromato- graphy, over 40 volumes have appeared covering virtually all aspects of chromatography. Hitherto, the stationary phase, which is an essential component of all chromatographic systems, has largely been neglected.Although somewhat belated this omission has now been rectified by the publication of a splendid review, written by internationally recognized experts under the editorial guidance of Klaus Unger, a scientist well known for his innovative work on liquid chromatographic packing materials. The book provides a comprehensive review and critical analysis of the role of stationary phases and packings in gas, thin-layer and column-liquid chromatography. Valuable information is given on the plethora of phases available for use by the analyst, including details of manufacture, structural properties and chromatographic behaviour, with special emphasis on factors affecting retention and selectivity. In the reviewer’s opinion the book provides the essential knowledge to enable analytical chemists to select, handle and evaluate stationary phases for the solution of the full spectrum of chemical and biomedical separation problems.The monograph consists of 13 chapters, the first of which presents a thorough historical review of the development of chromatography, essential reading for research degree candi- dates, which includes over 90 references enabling further research into the origins of the technique. This is followed by an overview of packing materials which concentrates upon the characterization of the physical and chemical structural properties of stationary phases and the role of these properties in determining the efficiency and selectivity of systems in both gas and liquid chromatography. Chapter 3 covers column packings for use in gas-solid and gas-liquid chromatography.This chapter contains a wealth of detail about the full range of commercially available sorbents, liquid phases and supports. Included is information on the manufacture, chemical structure and chromatographic properties along with guidelines for the selection of phases for a wide range of assays that should prove to be useful to the beginner and the established practitioner. There follows a brief account of column materials for liquid-liquid partition chromatography with solvent generated phase systems. Stationary phases for thin-layer chromatography are reviewed in Chapter 5. Here again a lot of practically useful data are given about the full spectrum of sorbents for normal- and reversed-phase TLC.Details are given about bulk sorbents and pre-coated layers and in each instance mobile phase systems are recommended for a wide range of applica- tions and typical separations illustrated. A comprehensive account of column packings for liquid chromatography is given in Chapter 6. Here inorganic and organic sorbents are considered along with the full range of chemically bonded phases. Details are given of the prepara- tion, physical and chemical characterization together with typical analytical applications and a discussion of elution mechanisms. As with the gas chromatographic phases, dis- cussed earlier in the text, valuable information is given on commercially available phases. The next three chapters deal with stationary phases for size exclusion, donor-acceptor complex and ligand-exchange chromatography.These chapters not only contain useful information about the respective column materials but also helpful accounts of the theory and applications of these less familiar techniques. A substantial account of ion-exchange chromatography is given in Chapter 10. In addition to a thorough treatment of ion exchangers, essential theoretical and practical aspects of the technique are discussed. Details are given of the majority of phases currently available, including polymer- and silica- based materials, and their analytical application is illustrated by typical examples. This chapter is followed by short, yet informative, accounts of phases for ion-pair, affinity and chiral-liquid chromatography. The book is highly recommended.M. B. Evans Standardization Within Analytical Chemistry P. Kivalo. Pp. 157. Akademiai Kiado. 1989. Price f23.00. ISBN 963 05 5604 9. Raising the topic of standardization usually guarantees that many analytical chemists will rapidly lose interest! However, there is growing awareness of the necessity for involvement as more practising analytical chemists realize the pit-falls of working across national and continental boundaries. Professor Kivalo’s book is certainly going to help in promoting understanding of the issues and challenges in- volved in harmonization and standardization of analytical methodology. I found the short historical perspective and the overview of the roles of IUPAC and I S 0 particularly helpful. Another useful feature of the work is that the appendices contain 5 key documents, brought together and containing much of the detail outlined in Chapter 5 on methods standardization.ANALYST, JANUARY 1991, VOL.116 103 These are: (i) ISO/IEC Guide 2-1986 (E/F/R). General terms and definitions concerning standardization and related activities; (ii) IS0 78/2-1982 (E). Layouts for standards. Part 2. Standards for chemical analysis; (iii) IS0 5725-1986 (E). Precision of test methods. Determination of repeatability and reproducibility for a standard test method by interlaboratory trials; (iv) AOAC Guidelines for interlaboratory collaborative study procedure to validate characteristics of a method of analysis; and ( v ) IS0/16C Guide 43-1984 (E). Development and operation of laboratories proficiency testing.I recommend this timely book to those involved not only in the international arena but also to those working within organizations involving disparate laboratory groups. C. Burgess Multivariate Calibration Harald Martens and Tormold Naes. Wiley-lnterscience. 1989. Pp. xvii + 419. Price f75.00. ISBN 0 471 90979 3. In their preface, the authors set out their objective to address a number of topics relating to multivariate calibration, namely: why multivariate calibration?; useful statistical tools; how to do it; how to make sure it really works; how to find extreme outliers or errors in the data set; how to get the right type of input data; and how to tailor your data for optimal calibration. Given such an ambitious target, the authors have done well to keep the size of the book to 8 chapters and just over 400 pages.Chapter 1 takes the reader reasonably gently through the rationale of multivariate calibration and the problems asso- ciated with calibration prediction and interference. The basic mathematical tools for vector and matrix manipulation together with geometric representations in linear algebra are covered in Chapter 2. Concepts of orthogonality and projec- tion provide the introduction to statistical considerations such as covariance and correlations leading to the matrix represen- tations of the least squares principle and calibration models. Both these chapters were well written and digestible to the non-specialist. Indeed it may be difficult for those more used to the formal presentation of linear algebra to be comfortable with the geometrical illustration of matrices and vectors.I found this approach to be most helpful. Chapter 3 forms the true meat of the book being in essence the mathematical basis for the Unscrambler computer pro- gram used throughout the book. The authors have attempted to write this at two levels and provide more statistical and mathematical rigour for the more advanced reader, achieved by the use of material in the form of statistical extensions which may be omitted. Laudable though this objective is, I felt that the chapter is probably the least satisfactory in the book. It is a highly indigestible 163 pages and takes the reader rapidly through univariate calibration and into data compres- sion followed by a discussion of principle component analysis and principle component regression.There then follows detailed algorithmic discussion of PLSl and PLS2 which was very heavy going in marked contrast to the deft light touch shown in Chapters 1 and 2. Large portions of this would only be of interest to the advanced reader and could be safely removed to an appendix. Newcomers to the field on the first reading would be well advised to skip large sections of this for the sake of their digestion and continued interest in the topic. Fortunately, matters rapidly improve when contact with the real work is regained in Chapter 4, on assessment, validation and choice of calibration method. Chapter 5 continues the good work by addressing the difficult question of errors and outliers. Chapter 6 tackles the problem, usually ignored, of designing the experiment so that the data are fit for the purpose of the later analysis. I find it strange that the authors left this to the end, rather than putting it at the beginning where it belongs, together with the section on pre-treatment of data and linearization (Chapter 7). The final chapter gives a worked example using the Unscrambler package. This is not as useful as it could have been, as the data set is omitted and the arguments are almost entirely pictorial, which is a pity because a feel for the numbers generated would have been an advantage. In conclusion, the authors have made a bold attempt to write a book for analytical scientists, who are not mathemat- ical specialists, to encourage the use of multivariate calibra- tion techniques. Notwithstanding my reservations about the readability of Chapter 3, I’m sure that this book marks a significant milestone in the progress of chemometrics and am happy to recommend it. C. Burgess

摘要:

ANALYST, JANUARY 1991, VOL. 116 105 The Analyst INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS The Analyst publishes original research papers on all aspects of the theory and practice of analytical chemistry, fundamental and applied, inorganic and organic, including chemical, physical, biochemical, clinical, pharmaceutical, biological, automatic and computer-based methods. Papers on new techniques and instrumentation, detectors and sensors, and new areas of application with due attention to overcoming limitations and to underlying principles are all equally welcome. All contributions are judged on the criteria of (i) originality and quality of scientific content and (ii) appropriateness of the length to content of new science. Thus, papers reporting results which would be routinely predicted or result from application of standard procedures or techniques are unlikely to prove acceptable in the absence of other attributes which themselves make publication desirable.Although short articles are acceptable, the Society strongly discourages fragmentation of a substantial body of work into a number of short publications. Unnecessary fragmentation will be a valid reason for rejection of manuscripts. Papers may be submitted for publication by members of The Royal Society of Chemistry or by non-members. There is no page charge for papers published in The Analyst. The following types of papers will be considered. Original research papers. Communications, which must be on an urgent matter and be of obvious scientific importance. Rapidity of publication is enhanced if diagrams are omitted, but tables and formulae can be included.Communications receive priority and are usually published within 5-8 weeks of receipt. They are intended for brief descriptions of work that has progressed to a stage at which it is likely to be valuable to workers faced with similar problems. A fuller paper may be offered subse- quently, if justified by later work. Although publication is at the discretion of the Editor, communications will be examined by at least one referee. Reviews, which must be a critical evaluation of the existing state of knowledge on a particular facet of analytical chemistry. However, original work may be included. Simple literature surveys will not be accepted for publication. It is desirable that potential review writers should contact the Editor before embarking on their work.Copyright. The whole of the literary matter (including tables, figures, diagrams and photographs) in The Analyst is Royal Society of Chemistry copyright and may not be reproduced without permission from the Society or such other owner of the copyright as may be indicated. Papers that are accepted must not be published elsewhere except by permission. Submission of a manuscript will be regarded as an undertaking that the same material is not being considered for publication by another journal in any language. US Associate Editor. Papers from North America can be submitted to Dr. J. F. Tyson, Department of Chemistry, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003. USA. To enhance the speed of processing of manuscripts, these papers will usually be refereed in the United States or Canada.Regional Advisory Editors. For the benefit of potential contributors outside the United Kingdom and North America, a Group of Regional Advisory Editors exists. Requests for help or advice on any matter related to the preparation of papers and their submission for publication in The Anafyst can be sent to the nearest member of the Group. Currently serving Regional Advisory Editors are listed in each issue of The Analyst. Manuscripts. Papers should be typewritten in double spacing on one side only of the paper. Copies of any related, relevant, unpublished material and raw data should be made available on request. Three copies of text and illustrations should be sent to the Editor, The Analyst, The Royal Society of Chemistry, Thomas Graham House, Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge CB4 4WF, or directly to the US Associate Editor, and a further copy retained by the author.Administration and Publication Procedure. Receipt of a contribu- tion for consideration will be acknowledged immediately by the Editorial Office. The acknowledgement will indicate the paper reference number assigned to the contribution. Authors are particu- larly asked to quote this number on all subsequent correspondence. All papers (including conference presentations submitted for special issues) are sent simultaneously to at least two referees, whose names are not disclosed to the authors. On the basis of the referees’ reports, the Editor decides whether the paper is suitable for publication, either unchanged or after appropriate revision.This decision and relevant comments of the referees are communicated to the author. Differences of opinion are mediated by the Editor, possibly after consultation with further referees, or, in the last resort, by the Editorial Board. When rejection of a paper is recommended, the Editor informs the author, and returns the top copy of the manuscript. Authors have the right to appeal to the Editorial Board if they regard a decision to reject as unfair. Authors will receive formal notification when papers are accepted for publication. Proofs. The address to which proofs are to be sent should accompany the paper. Proofs should be carefully checked and returned immediately (by Air Mail from outside Europe).Particular attention should be paid to numerical data both in the tables and text. Reprints. Fifty reprints of each paper are supplied free on request. Additional reprints can be purchased if ordered at the time of publication. Details are sent to authors with the proofs. Notes on the Writing of Papers for The Analyst Manuscripts should be in accordance with the style and usage shown in recent copies of The Analyst. Conciseness of expression is expected: clarity is increased by adopting a logical order of presentation, with suitable paragraph or section headings. Spellings should be in accordance with the Oxford English Dictionary. To facilitate abstracting and indexing by Chemical Abstracts Service, and other abstracting organizations, it would be helpful if at least one forename could be included with each author’s family name.The corresponding author should be clearly indicated. Descriptions of new methods should be supported by experimental results showing accuracy, precision and selectivity. The recommended order of presentation is as indicated below: Title. This should be as brief as is consistent with an adequate indication of the original features of the work. The title should usually include the analyte being determined or identified, the matrix and the analytical method used. Summary. A summary of about 250 words, giving the salient features and drawing attention to the novel aspects, should be provided for all papers. It should be essentially independent of the main text and include relevant quantitative information such as detection limits, precision and accuracy data.Keywords. Up to 5 keywords or key phrases, indicating the topics of importance in the work described, should be included after the summary. Aim of investigation. A concise introductory statement of the novel features of the work and the object of the investigation with any essential historical background, followed, if neces- sary, by a brief account of preliminary experimental work with relevant references. Description of the experimental procedures. Working details must be given concisely. Analytical procedures should pre- ferably be given in the form of instructions; well known operations should not be described in detail. Suppliers of equipment and materials, and their locations, should be mentioned.106 tf) (g) ( h ) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Results and Discussion.Results are best presented in tabular or diagrammatic form (but not both for the same results), followed by an appropriate statistical evaluation, which should be in accordance with accepted practice. For example, a new procedure for multi-element determinations which produced results for which the concentrations of 8 out of 10 of the elements determined in a standard reference material were statistically indistinguishable from the certificate values should be described in those terms and not referred to as ‘excellent agreement’. This is particularly important in the summary. Any discussion should comment on the scope of the method and its validity, followed by a statement of any conclusions drawn from the work.A separate conclusions section is not encouraged but, if included, it should not simply duplicate statements in the discussion. Acknowledgements. Contributors other than co-authors, com- panies or sponsors may be acknowledged in a separate paragraph at the end of the paper. Titles may be given but not degrees. References. References should be numbered serially in the text by means of superscript figures, e.g., Foote and Delves,’ Burns e f a1.2 or Hirozawa,3 and collected in numerical order under ‘References’ at the end of the paper. They should be listed, with the authors’ initials, in the following form (double-spaced typing): Yerian, T. D., Christian, G. D., and RfiiiEka, J., Analyst, 1986, 111, 865. Sharp, B. L., Barnett, N.

Authors must, in their own interest, check the lists of references against the original papers; second-hand references are a frequent source of error.References to conference abstracts which have not ANALYST, JANUARY 1991, VOL. 116 been published in the open literature are not acceptable. The number of references must be kept to a minimum. Nomenclature. Current internationally recognized (IUPAC) chemical nomenclature should be used. Common trivial names may be used, but should first be defined in terms of IUPAC nomenclature. A listing of all relevant IUPAC nomenclature publications appears in the January issue. Symbols and units. The SI system of units, as recommended by IUPAC, should be followed. Their basis is the ‘Systeme Internation- ale d’Unitis’ (SI). A detailed treatment is given in the so-called Green Book: Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry (Black- well Scientific Publications, Oxford, 1988 edn.).The following will be the guidelines used: ( a ) A metric system will always be used in preference to a ( b ) SI will be the standard usage. ( c ) The units used to record the definitive values of ‘critical data’ or quantitities measured to a high degree of accuracy will be SI. These units are summarized in the Appendix. non-metric one. The effect on current style of papers for The Analyst includes the following: dimensions should preferably be given in metres (m) or in millimetres (mm); temperatures should be expressed in K or “C (not O F ) ; wavelengths should be expressed in nanometres (nm) (not mp); frequency should be expressed in Hz (or kHz, etc.), not in c/s or c.P.s.; rotational frequency can be denoted by use of s-1; in mass spectrometry, signal intensity should be expressed in counts s-’ and not in Hz; radionuclide activity will be expressed in becquerels (Bq) or curies (Ci); 1 Ci = 3.7 x 1010 Bq; the micron (p) will not be used; 10-6 m will be 1 pm.When non-SI units are used they must be adequately explained unless their definition is obvious (e.g., degree Celsius, mmHg). The derivation of derived non-SI units should be indicated. Abbreviations. Abbreviational full stops are omitted after the common contractions of metric units (e.g., ml, g, yg, mm) and other units represented by symbols. Abbreviations other than those of recognised units should be avoided in the text except after definition. Upper case letters without points should be used for abbreviations for techniques and associated terms.e.g., HPLC, AAS, XRF, UV, NMR, SCE. Other common abbreviations and contractions require full points, e.g., eqn., m.p., Dr., except when sub- or super-script, A,,, for example. The abbreviations Me, Et, Prn, Bun, Bu*, Bus, But, Ph, Ac, Alk, Ar and Hal can be used; others should be defined. Carboxy groups are written C02R, not COOR. Substituents should be indicated by R (one) or by R1, R2, R3 . . . (more than one). Percentage concentrations of solutions should be stated in inter- nationally recognized terms. Thus the symbols ‘m’ instead of ‘w’ for mass and ‘v’ for volume are to be used. The following show the manner of expressing these percentages together with an acceptable alternative given in parentheses: Yo m/m (g per 100 g); YO m/v (g per 100 ml); YO v/v.Further implications of the use of the term ‘mass’ are that ‘relative atomic mass’ of an element (A,.) replaces atomic weight, and ‘relative molecular mass’ of a substance (M,) replaces molecular weight. Concentrations of solutions of the common acids are often conveniently given as dilutions of the concentrated acids, such as ‘dilute hydrochloric acid (1 + 4)’, which signifies 1 volume of the concentrated acid mixed with 4 volumes of water. This avoids the ambiguity of 1 : 4, which might represent either 1 + 4 or 1 + 3. Dilutions of other solutions can be expressed in a similar manner. Molarity is generally expressed as a decimal fraction (e.g., 0.375 mol dm-3)). Tables and diagrams. Table column headings should be brief.Tables consisting of only two columns can often be arrangedANALYST, JANUARY 1991, VOL. 116 107 horizontally. Tables must be supplied with titles and be so set out as to be understandable without reference to the text. Either tables or graphs may be used but not both for the same set of results, unless important additional information is given by so doing. The information given by a straight-line calibration graph can usually be conveyed adequately as an equation or statement in the text. Column headings and graph axis labels should be in accord with SI conventions. Thus, the expression of numerical values of a physical quantity should be dimensionless, i.e., the quotient of the symbol for the physical quantity and the symbol for the unit used, e.g., platm, or some mathematical function of a number, e.g., In(p/atm).Further examples are v/cm-’, Ucm, mass of substancejg and flow-rate/ml min-1. For units which are already dimensionless, i.e., ratios such as % or ppm, the type of ratio is indicated in parentheses, e.g., c (%) orc (ppm). The diagonal line (solidus) will not be used to represent ‘per’. In accordance with the SI system, units such as grams per millilitre are already expressed in the form g ml-I. It should be noted that the ‘combined’ unit, g ml-l, must not have any ‘intrusive’ numbers. To express concentration in grams per 100 millilitres, the word ‘per’ will still be required: Concentration/g per 100 ml. It may be preferable for an author to express concentrations in grams per litre (g 1-l) rather than grams per 100 ml.Most diagrams will be retraced and lettered in order to achieve uniform line thicknesses and lettering size and style. However, all diagrams should be carefully and clearly drawn on good quality paper and should be carefully and clearly lettered. If possible, chromato- grams and spectra, complicated flow charts, circuit diagrams, etc., should be supplied as artwork for direct reproduction in order to avoid time-consuming and expensive redrawing. The clearest copy should be without lettering. Three complete sets of illustrations should be provided, two sets of which may be made by any convenient copying process for trans- mission to the referees. All diagrams should be accompanied by a separately typed set of captions. Wherever possible, extensive identifying lettering should be placed in the caption rather than on lines on graphs, etc.Photographs. Photographs can be submitted if they convey essential information that cannot be shown in any other way. They should be submitted as glossy or matt prints made to give the maximum detail. Colour photographs will be accepted only when a black-and-white photograph fails to show some vital feature and can be supplied either as prints or transparencies. Appendix The SI System of Units In the SI system there are seven base units- Physical Name Symbol quantity of unit for unit length metre m mass kilogram kg time second S electric current ampere A thermodynamic temperature kelvin K amount of substance mole mol luminous intensity candela cd There are two supplementary dimensionless units for plane angle (radian, rad) and solid angle (steradian, sr).Some derived SI units that have special names are as follows- Physical quantity energy force power electric charge electric conductance electric potential difference electric resistance electric capacitance frequency magnetic flux density radionuclide activity presssure, stress energy, work, heat inductance (magnetic induction) Name of unit joule newton watt coulomb siemens volt ohm farad hertz tesla becquerel pascal joule henry Examples of other derived SI units are- Physical quantity Symbol for unit J N w C S V Q F Hz T Pa J H Bq SI unit area volume square metre cubic metre density kilogram per cubic metre velocity metre per second angular velocity radian per second acceleration metre per second squared magnetic field strength ampere per metre kgs-2A-1 = Vsm-2 s- 1 m-1 kg s-2 (= N m-2) m2kgs-2(= Nm = Pam3) m2 kg s-2 A-2 (= VA-1 s) Symbol for unit m2 m3 kg m-3 m s-1 rad s-1 m s-2 A m-1108 ANALYST, JANUARY 1991, VOL. 116 Certain units will be allowed in conjunction with the SI system, e.g.- Physical quantity time plane angle volume magnetic flux density temperature, t radionuclide activity energy pressure mass (magnetic induction) Name Symbol of unit for unit minute degree litre gauss degree Celsius curie elec tronvol t bar unified atomic mass unit min 1 G "C Ci eV bar 0 U Definition of unit 60 s (d180) rad 10-3 m3 = dm3 10-4 T t/"C = T/K - 273.16 3.7 x 1010Bq 1.6021 x 10-19 J l o 5 Pa 1.66054 x 10-27 kg The other common units of time (e.g., hour and day) will continue to be used in appropriate contexts.

ANALYST, JANUARY 1991, VOL. 116 109 JOURNALS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY Refereeing Procedure and Policy (1991) 1.0 Contributions t o Dalton, Perkin, and Faraday Transactions, J. Mater. Chem., The Analyst, J. Anal. At. Spectrom. and J. Chem. Research 1.1 Introduction This document summarises the procedure used for assessing papers submitted to the four Transactions, J. Mater. Chem., The Analyst, J. Anal. At. Spectrom., and J. Chem. Research, and provides guidelines for referees engaged in this assessment. 1.2 Subject matter Papers are submitted to the various journals according to subject matter. If a referee feels that a paper would be published more appropriately in an RSC journal other than the one suggested by the author, he should inform the Editor. The topics covered by the various journals are as follows: Dalton Transactions (Inorganic Chemistry).All aspects of the chemistry of inorganic and organometallic compounds, including bioinorganic chemistry and solid-state inorganic chemistry; the applications of physicochemical techniques to the study of their structures, properties, and reactions, including kinetics and mechanism; new or improved experimental techniques and syntheses. Faraday Transactions (Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics). Gas-phase kinetics and dynamics; molecular beam kinetics and spectroscopy, photochemistry and photophysics; energy transfer and relaxation processes: laser-induced chemistry; spectroscopies of molecules, molecular and gas- phase complexes: quantum chemistry and molecular structure, statistical mechanics of gaseous molecules and complexes; spectroscopies, statistical mechanics and quantum theory of the condensed phase, computational chemistry and molecular dynamics; colloid and interface science, surface science, physisorption and chromatographic science, chemisorption and heterogeneous catalysis, zeolites and ion-exchange phenomena; electrode processes, liquids and solutions; solid-state chemistry (microstructures and dynamics); reactions in condensed phases; physical chemistry of macromolecules and polymers; materials science; thermodynamics; biophysical chemistry and radiation chemistry.Perkin Transactions 1 (Organic Chemistry). All aspects of organic and bio-organic chemistry. These include synthetic organic chemistry of all types, organometallic chemistry, chemistry and biosynthesis of natural products, the relationship between molecular structure and biological activity, the chemistry of polymers and biological macromolecules, and medicinal and agricultural chemistry where there is originality in the science.Perkin Transactions 2 (Physical Organic Chemistry). Physicochemical aspects of organic, organometallic, and bio- organic chemistry, including kinetic, mechanistic, structural, spectroscopic, and theoretical studies. Such topics include structure-activity relationships and physical aspects of biological processes and of the study of polymers and biological macromolecules. Journal of Materials Chemistry. The chemistry of materials, particularly those associated with advanced technology; modelling of materials; synthesis and structural characteris- ation; physicochemical aspects of fabrication; chemical, structural, electrical, magnetic and optical properties; applic- ations.The Analyst (Analytical Chemistry). Theory and practice of all aspects of analytical chemistry, fundamental and applied, inorganic and organic, including chemical, physical, and biological methods. Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry. The develop- ment and analytical application of atomic spectrometric techniques. Journal of Chemical Research. All areas of chemistry. The format of this journal (one- or two-page printed synopsis in Part S, plus microform version of authors’ full text typescript in Part M) makes it particularly suitable for papers containing lengthy experimental sections or extensive data tabulations.1.3 Procedure Each manuscript is considered independently by two referees. The referees’ reports constitute recommendations to the appropriate Editorial Board, which is empowered to take final action on manuscripts submitted. The Editor, acting for the Editorial Board, is responsible for all administrative and executive actions, and is empowered to accept or reject papers. It is the Editor’s duty to see that, as far as possible, agreement is reached between authors and referees; although the referees may need to be consulted again concerning an author’s reply to comments, further refereeing will be avoided as far as possible. 1.3.1 Adjudication of disagreements. If there is a notable discrepancy between the reports of the two referees, or if the difference between authors and referees cannot be resolved readily, a third referee may be appointed as adjudicator.In extreme cases, differences may be reported to the appropriate Editorial Board for resolution. When a paper is recommended for rejection by referees, the Editor will inform the authors and return the top copy of the manuscript. Authors have the right to appeal to the Editorial Board if they regard a decision to reject as unfair. The Editor may refer to the Editorial Boards any papers which have been recommended for acceptance by the referees, but about which the Editor is doubtful. 1.3.2 Anonymity. The anonymity of referees is strictly preserved, and reports should be couched in terms which do not disclose the identity of the writer.A referee should never communicate directly with an author, unless and until such action has been sanctioned by the Society, through the Editor. 1.3.3 Conjidentiality. A referee should treat a paper received for assessment as confidential material. Information acquired110 ANALYST, JANUARY 1991, VOL. 116 by a referee from such a paper is not available for citation until the paper is published. 1.4 Policy The primary criterion for acceptance of a contribution for publication is that it should advance scientific knowledge significantly. Papers that do not contain new experimental results may be considered for publication only if they either reinterpret or summarise known facts or results in a manner presenting an advance in chemical knowledge.Papers in interdisciplinary areas are acceptable if the chemical content is considered satisfactory. Papers reporting results regarded as routine or trivial are not acceptable in the absence of other, desirable attributes. Although short papers are acceptable, the Society strongly discourages the fragmentation of a substantial body of work into a number of short publications; such fragmentation is likely to be grounds for rejection. The length of an article should be commensurate with its scientific content; however, authors are allowed every latitude (consistent with reasonable brevity) in the form in which their work is presented. Figures and flow-charts can often save space as well as clarify complicated arguments, and should not be excised unless they are unhelpful or really extrava- gant.If a paper as a whole is judged suitable for the Journal, minor criticisms should not be unduly emphasised. It is the responsibility of the Editor to ensure the use of reasonably brief phraseology, and to assist the author to present his work in the most appropriate format. However, referees should not hesitate to recommend rejection of papers which appear incurably badly composed. It should be clearly understood that referees’ reports are made in confidence to the Editor, at whose discretion comments will be transmitted to the author. To assist the Editor, referees are requested to indicate which comments are designed only for consideration, as distinct from those which, in the referee’s view, require specific action or an adequate answer before the paper is accepted.Referees may ask for sight of supporting data not submitted for publication, or for sight of a previous paper which has been submitted but not yet published. Such requests must be made to the Editor, not directly to the author. 1.4.1 Authentication of new compounds. Referees are asked to assess, as a whole, the evidence in support of the homogeneity and structure of all new compounds. No hard and fast rules can be laid down to cover all types of compounds, but the Society’s policy is that evidence for the unequivocal identification of new compounds should wherever possible include good elemental analytical data; for example, an accurate mass measurement of a molecular ion does not provide evidence of purity of a compound and must be accompanied by independent evidence of homogeneity. Low-resolution mass spectrometry must be treated with even more reserve in the absence of firm evidence to distinguish between alternative molecular formulae. Where elemental analytical data are not available, appropriate evidence which is convincing to an expert in the field may be acceptable.Spectroscopic information necessary to the assignment of structure should normally be given. Just how complete this information should be must depend upon the circumstances; the structure of a compound obtained from an unusual reaction or isolated from a natural source needs much stronger supporting evidence than one derived by a standard reaction from a precursor of undisputed structure. Referees are reminded of the need to be exacting in their standards but at the same time flexible in their admission of evidence.It remains the Society’s policy to accept work only of high quality and to permit no lowering of stand- ards. 1.5 Titles and summaries Referees should comment on Titles and Summaries with the following points in mind. Titles of papers are used out of context by several organisations for current awareness purposes. To enable such systems to serve chemists adequately, titles must be written around a sufficient number of scientific words carefully chosen to cover the important aspects of the paper. Summaries should preferably be self-contained, so that they can be understood without reference to the main text. 1.6 Speed of Refereeing The Editorial Boards are anxious to maintain and to reduce further if possible the publication times now being achieved.In this connection, referees should submit their reports with the minimum of delay, or return manuscripts immediately to the Editor if long delay seems inevitable. 1.7 Suggestion of Alternative Referees The Editor welcomes suggestions of alternative referees competent to deal with particular subject areas. Such suggestions are particularly helpful in cases where referees consider themselves ill-equipped (in terms of specialist knowledge) to deal with a specific paper, and in highly specialized or new areas of research where only a limited number of experts may be available. If, in such a case, the alternative and the original referee work in the same institution, the manuscript may be passed on directly after informing the Editor.1.8 Notes (Short Papers) and Letters ‘Notes’ are published in Dalton Transactions; the correspond- ing format in The Analyst and J. Anal. At. Spectrom. is referred to as a ‘Short Paper’. These articles are intended for the description of essentially complete pieces of work which are not of the length to justify a full paper. They are NOT preliminary communications, nor in any way an alternative to Chemical Communications, for which there are additional criteria of novelty and urgency. The quality of material contained in a Note (Short Paper) should be the same as that in a full paper. Investigations arising out of some larger project but not prosecuted to the same degree are particularly appropriate for this format. A Note (Short Paper) should not normally exceed in length about 8 pages of typescript, including figures, tables, etc.It should comprise a short abstract (except in The Analyst and J. Anal. At. Spectrom.) and Discussion, but adequate experimental details are required. In J. Chem. Research, a ‘Short Paper’ is essentially of the same type. As a consequence of its length, it appears in full in Part S with no microform version in Part M. ‘Letters’, published only in Dalton Transactions, are a medium for the expression of scientific opinions and views normally concerning material published in that journal; it is intended that contributions in this format should be published rapidly. The Letters section is for scientific discussion, and is not intended to compete with media for the publication of more general matters such as Chemistry in Britain.Only rarely should a Letter exceed one printed column in length (about 1-2 pages of typescript). Where a Letter is polemical in nature, and if it is accepted, a Reply will be solicited from other parties implicated, for consideration for publication alongside the original Letter.ANALYST, JANUARY 1991, VOL. 116 111 1.9 Relationship with Communications Journals In cases where a preliminary report of the work described has appeared (for example in Chemical Communications), referees should alert the editor to any excessive and unnecessary repetition of material; this can arise in connection with communications journals whose restrictions on length and the reporting of experimental data are less severe than those of Chemical Communications.Furthermore, the acceptability of the full paper must be judged on the basis of the significance of the additional information provided, as well as on the criteria outlined in the foregoing sections. 2.0 Contributions t o Chemical Communic- ations Chemical Communications is intended as a forum for preliminary accounts of original and significant work, in any area of chemistry that is likely to prove of wide general appeal or exceptional specialist interest. Such preliminary reports should be followed up in most cases by full papers in other journals, providing detailed accounts of the work. It is Society policy that only a fraction of research work warrants publication in Chemical Communications, and strict refereeing standards should be applied.The benefit to the reader from the rapid publication of a particular piece of work before it appears as a full paper must be balanced against the desirability of avoiding duplicate publication. The needs of the reader, not the author, must be considered, and priority in publication should not be allowed to determine acceptability. Acceptance should be recommended only if, in the opinion of the referee, the content of the paper is of such urgency that rapid publication will be advantageous to the progress of chemical research. The length of Communications is strictly limited; only in exceptional circumstances should it exceed one printed page (two-and-a-half to three A4 pages of typescript) and referees should be particularly critical of manuscripts longer than this.Communications do not contain extensive spectroscopic or other experimental data, but referees may ask for sight of such data before reaching a decision. The refereeing procedure for Communications is the same as that for full papers, except that rapidity of reporting is crucial in order to maintain rapid publication. The Journals Committee functions as the Editorial Board of Chemical Communications and as such acts as final arbiter in cases of dispute. 3.0 Communications submitted t o The Analyst and J. Anal. At. Spectrom. Criteria for acceptance of Communications submitted to The Analyst and J. Anal. At. Spectrom. are similar to those for contributions to Chemical Communications, except that they should be concerned specifically with analytical chemistry.However Communications to The Analyst and J. Anal. At. Spectrom. are not subjected to refereeing in the usual way; a decision whether or not to publish rests with the Editor, who may or may not obtain advice from a referee. 4.0 Communications submitted t o Perkin or Faraday Transactions or J. Mater. Chem. Criteria for acceptance of Communications submitted to Perkin or Faraday Transactions or J. Mater. Chem. are similar to those for contributions to Chemical Communications, except that the work will be of more specialist interest. For Perkin Communications inclusion of key experimental data is expected. Assessment is carried out by a small nucleus of referees, consisting largely of members of Perkin Editorial Board or of the Faraday or Materials International Advisory Editorial Board, as appropriate.5.0 Contributions t o Mendeleev Communic- ations Mendeleev Communications, published jointly by the Royal Society of Chemistry and the USSR Academy of Sciences, is a sister publication to Chemical Communications, containing preliminary reports of the same type, in any area of chemistry. The majority of contributions are from Soviet authors. Assessment involves two stages of refereeing. Manuscripts submitted to the Soviet Editorial Office are refereed initially by a Soviet scientist. If found acceptable they are then reviewed by Western scientists chosen by the Royal Society of Chemistry. A favourable recommendation at this stage, from one referee, is sufficient authority for acceptance.If the recommendation is unfavourable, however, a second RSC referee is consulted; two unfavourable reports are required for rejection. Manuscripts submitted to the UK Editorial Office undergo this two-stage refereeing process in reverse. 6.0 X-Ray Crystallographic Work 6.1 (A) The majority, which contain definitive data on completely refined determinations. (B) A minority which include brief accounts of structures containing feature(s) of unusual interest and where the structure solutions are clear but where (for any of a variety of reasons) the full refinement has not been completed. These are then regarded as preliminary publications, at least so far as the X-ray results are concerned. Both types of publication are appropriate for Chem.Commun.; only those of type (A) should normally appear in Dalton or Perkin Transactions. Crystallographic papers are of two types: 6.2 Papers of type (A) in Dalton and Perkin Transactions should normally contain the information in their titles that an X-ray structure determination has been carried out; this is often appropriate in Chem. Commun. also, but not obligatory. Papers of type (B) need not do so if the X-ray determination forms only a minor part. Summaries should always contain this information unless the paper is of type (B) and the structure determination is not a main point of the communication. 6.3 All papers containing crystallographic determinations will be refereed by two referees, one a structural chemist. If the editor considers it advisable, the paper may also be sent to a crystallographer for comment.Referees will not normally be expected to check values of structural parameters for publication (e.g. bond lengths and angles against atomic co- ordinates; this will be done after publication by CCDC or Bonn), but should still pay attention to the quality of the experimental crystallographic work. However their primary concern should be such new chemistry as is involved in the structure. 6.4 On occasions Chem. Commun. will publish preliminary accounts [type (B)] of crystal structures of unusual chemical interest. By ‘preliminary’ is meant that the data have not yet been fully refined. Sufficient supplementary data must be provided for the referee to judge whether the ‘not-fully-refined’ structure does indeed prove the desired point, and care should be taken by the referees to ensure that the authors do not overstate the case they have-for example by reporting bond112 ANALYST, JANUARY 1991, VOL.116 lengths to very high degrees of apparent precision when they have poor R-factors. Such papers will always be refereed by a professional crystallographer. Authors must indicate in the paper or the supplementary data the justification for publishing without full refinement and referees should comment on whether the case for publication is convincing. 6.5 In many cases the structure referred to in Chem. Commun. will be fully refined. The Chem. Commun. can then be considered to fulfil the archival function, and the structure determination may not require further detailed refereeing when presented as part of a full paper. In the full paper, the author’s purpose will then be served by a simple reference back to the original communication. However, if the crystallography is discussed again at any length in the full paper, the data should be re-presented to the referees in full, and re-published if considered necessary. 6.6 There may be other cases when an author wishes to publish a paper in Dalton or Perkin in which the result of a crystal structure determination is discussed, but in which details or extensive discussion are considered unnecessary. The crystallographer may even be omitted as a co-author (for example when the determination is carried out by a commercial company). If the author is able to show the referees that this procedure is appropriate, it will be allowed provided that it does not lead to unnecessary fragmentation. However, the author must provide, as supplementary information, sufficient data relating to the crystal structure determination to allow a referee to make sure that the point made is correct, and co- ordinates etc. will be deposited with CCDC (or Bonn). The brief published description of the determination should be supplemented by appropriate reference to ‘unpublished work’.
