New Article Type: Synthetic Procedures |
With the beginning of 2023, we provide a new Article Type for papers describing preparative work of high relevance, for example from the Industrial Chemistry in the form of ‘Synthetic Procedures’. We are looking for submissions from academic and industrial research describing robust protocols, progress in up-scaling, safety aspects or other improvements of procedures for the synthesis of chemicals of high relevance for academia or industry. The described reactions should be reliable and scalable. Safety aspects, and or environmental/economical improvements such as new solvents, new workup or isolation procedures are very important aspects for this new article type and must be described and explained in detail. In addition, each procedure should be accompanied by an introduction on the background and the relevance of the developed process. |
New Editors-in-Chief and New Board Members |
Starting in 2022, Helvetica has new EiC: Eva Hevia from the University of Bern and Jérôme Waser from EPF Lausanne. Read their Editorial. The Editorial Board has been reshaped and for the very first time, Helvetica has an Early Career International Advisory Board |
Open Access |

If you are an author from Switzerland (CSAL), Germany (DEAL), Ireland (IReL), Hungary (EISZ), Norway (Sikt/UNiT), Spain (CRUE-CSIC), please be sure to indicate this in Wiley Author Services in order to make your manuscript Open Access. |
100th Anniversary of Helvetica Chimica Acta in 2017
|
Dear Colleagues The year 2016 has nearly come to a close, holidays are on the way, and the new Helvetica is now fully in operation. Have a look at the published contributions in the 100th Anniversary Special Collection. We are ready to host your contribution to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Helvetica Chimica Acta in 2017. Helvetica wants to be a premiere journal for the frontier in molecular chemistry from all fields across Switzerland and the globe. We are sure 2016 has brought you new and exciting chemistry in the labs; Helvetica wants to help you publishing your innovative research. At a time of journals with too many pages, Helvetica – with its selected, high quality papers – is a perfect venue to showcase the Science being done in Switzerland and beyond. We invite you to submit your manuscripts across all fields of chemistry to this very special 100th anniversary event, celebrating chemistry and the frontier of chemical sciences (biology, physics, material and engineering sciences). On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Helvetica, a virtual issue will be crafted, where the most prominent manuscripts will be collected and assemble into a hard copy issue. Season’s greetings to all! We look forward for your contribution to Helvetica on the occasion of its relaunch and its 100th anniversary. Jeffrey Bode and Christophe Copéret |
