Acta Physico-Chimica Sinica, founded in 1985, is sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society
and organized by the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Peking University. Since 1997, Acta Physico-Chimica Sinica
has been indexed in SCI of ISI (US). Acta Physico-Chimica Sinica is devoted to reporting new and original experimental
and theoretical basic research of interest to physical chemists, biophysical chemists, and material physical chemists. Manuscripts that
are essentially reporting data, applications of data, or reviews of the literature are not suitable for publication in Acta Physico-Chimica
Sinica.
Submission of manuscripts
Manuscripts should be submitted to the Journal's Web site: http://www.whxb.pku.edu.cn/enindex.asp.
All manuscripts must be accompanied by a Cover Letter that includes five specific points:
Manuscript title and Authors
Corresponding
Author's name, address, E-mail address, telephone, and fax numbers.
Designation of the Journal's subject category that best
fits the manuscript (see list under Sections of Acta Physico-Chimica Sinica)
Explanation of the manuscript's significance, including
its originality and its contribution to new knowledge in the field
List of at least three recommended Reviewers for the manuscript;
include the address, telephone and fax numbers, and E-mail address for each suggested Reviewer.
For submission of hardcopy
manuscripts, please contact the office at whxb@pku.edu.cn.

Manuscript types
Communications report results whose immediate availability to the scientific community is deemed important.
Communications are restricted to 5000 words or the equivalent (~12 double-spaced typewritten pages of text and 3~6 figures). A brief
abstract of fewer than 200 words should be included. Communications may occasionally have a follow-up publication when the research is
continued and a more complete account of the work is deemed necessary. Special efforts will be made to expedite the reviewing and the
publication of communications, and relatively short time is provided for proofreading the galley proofs. Thus, Authors should ensure
that manuscripts are in final, error-free form when submitted.
Articles should report original research that is expected
to have a definable impact on the advancement of science and technology. Articles are restricted to 6800 words. Manuscripts should cover
their subjects with thoroughness and clarity but should be as concise as possible. Articles are scheduled for publication in the order
of acceptance within limitations of available space.
Notes are short articles that offer brief report on focused issues of
special importance. Notes are restricted to 5000 words or the equivalent (~12 double-spaced typewritten pages of text and 3~6 figures).
Reviews on active and rapidly changing fields will be published. They will be approximately 8 pages long (~16 typed pages).
Authors are encouraged to submit two-page proposals to the Editor-in-Chief for consideration.
Manuscript preparation
Manuscripts must be prepared using accepted word-processing software, and all parts must be double-spaced. All pages must be numbered
consecutively starting with the title page and including tables and figures. A standard font, in a size of 11 points or greater, must
be used.
The various sections of the manuscript should be assembled in the following sequence:
Title and Authorship
Abstract
and Keywords
Introduction
Experimental Methods
Results and Discussion
Conclusions
Acknowledgment
References
Tables and Figures are inserted in the corresponding space of the text
