Instructions to authors 
 
October 2013
The journal Comptes rendus Chimie publishes original research and accounts 
(short reviews and historic chronicles) in all areas of chemistry. Notes 
(preliminary communications) should describe novel and important results. 
Full papers are intended to provide a concise account of new results and 
should include an experimental section. In all cases, the work should be 
of high general interest or of outstanding specialized interest. Short 
reviews should focus on the author(s) research within the context of the most 
important recent advances in the area. Historical articles are intended to 
highlight turning points in the history of chemistry. 
Submission and reviewing of manuscripts 
A cover letter to the Editor-in-Chief should state the reasons why 
publication in Comptes rendus Chimie is desirable. The name and version 
number of the softwares used to prepare the text and figures should be 
indicated, as well as the operating system (ex.: Windows, Mac OS, Unix). 
• Online submission: http://ees.elsevier.com/crchimie. This is now the 
required procedure as it offers numerous advantages. Assistance to 
authors is provided at http://epsupport.elsevier.com. Corresponding authors 
will be immediately informed that their article has been received, and 
processing time to publication will be greatly reduced by the use of this 
Internet-based workflow. In case of difficulties, the editorial secretaries will

Preparation of manuscripts 
• Language and length. Contributions can be written in English or 
in French and must include abstracts of no more than 100 words in both 
French1 and English. 
• Presentation of the manuscript. Manuscripts should include, in the 
following sequence: 1) the title, in French and in English (short, but explicit); 
2) the name of each of the authors, including a full first name (the name of 
the author to whom correspondence and proofs are to be sent must be 
followed by an asterisk); 3) the address of each of the authors (full details, 
including phone and fax numbers, and, if available, e-mail address); 4) the 
abstracts (in English and French) (100 to 150 words) followed by keywords (a 
maximum of 7, at least 5; 5) the text of the article must be typed, double 
spaced and each page must be numbered (section headings should be 
numbered following the international numbering system, i.e. 1.; 1.1.; 1.1.1.; 
6) the reference number of any deposited supplementary material along with 
any appropriate acknowledgements (maximum 3 lines); 7) references, 
captions, tables, figures. 
• References must be numbered in square brackets and listed 
sequentially as they appear in the text (autotext, field, bookmark, 
caption, cross-reference, etc.). Do not use automatic insertion for references 
and notes. All entries in the reference list must correspond to 
references in the text and vice versa. References must be noted in the 
text by a number enclosed in square brackets. The titles of journals should be 
abbreviated according to international rules2. Bold and italic characters should 
not be used in the reference list. 
Examples are given below of the layout to be used in the reference list.

• Figures. All illustrations should be labelled as figures (and/or schemes) 
and numbered using Arabic numerals. Original documents or photographs 
should be provided for reproduction of the figures. Whenever possible, figures 
should be submitted in their desired final size, i.e. 70 mm wide. In cases 
where they cannot be avoided, double column figures should not exceed 140 
mm in width. No original document should exceed A4 size (21 × 29.7 cm). 
Photographs and half-tones should contain good contrast. All figures in 
                                            
1 The French version is optional for articles written in English. 
2 Please refer to the List of Serial Title Word Abbreviations (conforming to ISO 4, Centre 
international de l'ISSN, Paris) or to Chemical Abstracts, available from http:www.issn.org; 
words for which no abbreviation is given should be written in full) 
colour will appear as such in the electronic version (ScienceDirect) but 
should also be suitable for a black-and-white publication in the hard copy of 
the journal. When scientifically justified, figures in colour may be printed in 
colour after agreement of the Editor-in-Chief. 
In reaction diagrams, the principal reagents and experimental conditions 
should be given above an arrow within the scheme, rather than as a caption. 
Figures and structural formulae will not be redrawn; they may be inserted 
into the text but should also be provided on separate sheets at the end of the 
manuscript. They should be of high enough quality to allow direct 
reproduction. Units and symbols should be consistent with those in other 
diagrams and the text. Characters should be large enough to be legible after 
a possible reduction of 70%. The Helvetica typeface is preferred for text 
appearing within figures. Wherever possible, diagrams should be prepared 
using ChemDraw™ using the following preferences: chain angle = 120°, bond 
spacing 19% of length, fixed bond length = 0.6, text settings = Helvetica size 
10. 
The illustrations (figures, schemes...) should be saved in TIFF 
(minimum 400 dpi resolution), EPS, ChemDraw or Adobe Illustrator 
formats. EPS format is not suitable for text-containing files. Figures in Word 
format cannot be used. 
• Tables should be numbered using Roman numbers and should appear 
in numerical order in the text. There should be no vertical lines in the tables. 
A caption is required for each table. 
• Conventions and abbreviations should be defined in brackets after 
their first mention in the text. Internationally accepted units and 
nomenclature must be used (ISO 31 and ISO 1000). Standard units of 
measurement and chemical symbols for elements may be used without 
definition in the manuscript. 
• Crystallographic data. Manuscripts reporting crystal structures 
determined by X-ray diffraction should include a list of the main bond lengths 
and angles. ORTEP drawings (except for stereochemical diagrams) are also 
required (but can be placed in the Supporting information if other software is 
used to prepare the view of the structure appearing in the text). 
Before submission of a manuscript to C. R. Chimie, the correspondence 
author must have obtained the Checkcif report for each structure (free online 
Checkcif service provided by the International Union of Crystallography: 
http://journals.iucr.org/services/cif/checkcif.html. 
He should then deposit the crystal structure(s) in .cif format with the 
Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) in Cambridge, UK, for 
structures containing at least one carbon atom, with the 
Fachinformationzentrum (FIZ) in Karlsruhe, Germany, for other structures. 
Do not submit the cif files with your manuscript, but the PDF of the Checkcif 
report.

• Supporting information. A manuscript may include electronic 
Supporting Information which will be accessible only on the WWW. Authors 
must keep a copy to make available to readers who do not have access to the 
internet. As this material [text, tables, schemes, figures but not the 
crystallographic (CIF) data, see above] undergoes the peer review process, it 
must be included and clearly marked as “Supporting Information to be 
published electronically”, when the paper is submitted. 
A standard text will be added in the printed version: 
† Supporting information for this article is available on the WWW under 
http://www.xxxxx or from the author. 
 
Proof reading 
Proofs are usually sent by e-mail to the corresponding author and should be 
checked carefully and returned as soon as possible to the address given in 
the message accompanying the proof. If there is no reply within 8 days, the 
article will be published with only the publisher’s corrections. ‘Author’s 
corrections’, i.e. any substantial changes to the text and figure made by the 
author on the proofs, other than typesetting errors or corrections required by 
the Editor-in-Chief of the Comptes rendus, will be charged. 
 
Reprints 
Authors will receive free of charge an electronic offprint of their article (in pdf 
format) and will be given the opportunity to order paper copies at their

163ernational Symposium on Air & Water Pollution Abatement Catalysis (AWPAC)–Catalytic pollution
trol for stationary and mobile sources
reword
Environmental challenges continuously stimulate the
elopment of innovative solutions amongst academic
 industrial researchers. More particularly, these last
rs, heterogeneous catalysis has been widely dedicated
energy saving, energy valorization, and pollution
trol.
These two thematic issues of Comptes rendus Chimie
tain a series of papers presented at the International
posium on ‘‘Air and water pollution abatement cataly-
’ (AWPAC 2014), held in Cracow (1st–5th September
4), within the framework of the International group of
earch (or ‘‘GDRI’’) ‘‘Catalysis for environment, depollu-
, renewable energy and clean fuels’’. This ‘‘GDRI’’, which
 ben active from 2007 to 2014, resulted from a strong
ial interaction between French and Polish research
ups and was created by the ‘‘Centre national de la
herche scientifique’’ (CNRS, France) and the Polish
demy of Sciences (PAN). Other laboratories from Europe
ain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, etc.) and from Brazil and
tnam were involved in this GDRI Program. This network
aboratories was also supported, besides CNRS and PAN,
the Polish Ministry of Scientific Research and Education,
 by the French Embassy in Warsaw. More particularly,
 financial help from all previous institutions was
ential to the organization of this event.
Local organizers of the symposium were from the Jerzy
er Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry, Polish
demy of Sciences, in Cracow, and the Faculty of Energy
 Fuels, AGH University of Science and Technology, in
cow, the latter housing the symposium.
Members of the scientific committee of the AWPAC
4 symposium focused on discussions relevant to the
ual concepts and models related to catalysis applica-
s involved in the following topics:
obile sources emissions
NOx treatment (NOx trap, NH3 SCR, HC SCR, H2 SCR)
nd particulate matter abatement from classical or
renewable fuels were the main topics of this session.
Other subjects such as catalysis for on-board ammonia
production or urea decomposition, have been developed
(Session 1).
 Emissions from stationary sources (air and water treatment)
Abatement of atmospheric pollution by catalytic
decomposition of N2O at high temperatures (nitric acid
plants) and its catalytic reduction at medium tempera-
tures were the main subjects of this session. Catalytic NO
reduction or decomposition in flue gases (coal, natural
gas) and VOC treatment were also of interest. Addition-
ally, the wet catalytic oxidation of pollutants or photo-
catalysis has been considered (Session 2).
 Clean fuels and renewable energy
The focus of this session was catalytic coal and
biomass gasification and valorization to cleaner fuels.
Thus, syngas and fuel production were the main subjects
to be discussed. Processes such as reforming (oxy, dry,
steam), partial methane oxidation (POM), chemical
looping combustion (CLC), chemical looping reforming
(CLR), water gas shift (WGS), and Fischer–Tropsch
reactions have also been considered at the global and
the molecular levels (Session 3).
These topics are representative of the two volumes of
these issues.
The AWPAC program contained 44 oral presentations
and almost 140 poster communications covering all these
subjects. The 135 participants from different countries (20)
made the success of this event.
The organizers hope that this conference will promote
further discussions on the important issues of Catalysis for
environmental protection and clean fuels and renewable
energies, and lead to closer cooperation between resear-
chers interested in this field. Special thanks are due to
Ms. Évelyne Mignon (d’Alembert Institute) for managing
the logistics for foreign partners and French participants.
We also would thank the dean of the faculty of energy and
