The first issue of Nature Chemistry goes live today. We are very proud of our latest physical sciences journal, and hope you will take a look.
Nature Chemistry’s inaugural issue covers the breadth of chemistry, from inorganic microtubes to theoretical studies of how water behaves in detonations.
The journal also has some really cool new features that we hope you will find invaluable. More detail is available in the press release
The first issue is free to access, if you would like to see some of the article functionality in action, I would suggest taking a look at the following articles:
Article annotated with compounds and link-outs
Article with bold compound numbers with pop-up structures and compound pages
Please let us know what you think!

Whey-hey CHEMISTRY! Diels-Alder reactions…
Sorry, bit excited here because it’s like coming across a familiar an familiar old stamping ground…
I think all the compound figures and link-outs work really well. It’s like a chemist’s electronic pop-out book. I think it’s great.

Thanks Clare – so glad you like the figures and link-outs!

There is a nice post by Neil Withers, one of the journal’s editors, at Sceptical Chymist blog , and I like this independent analysis of the data-rich features, mentioned by Grace in her post here, by Egon Willighagen at his blog Chem-bla-ics . I recommend that chemists take a look at Egon’s post and the comments there, for the full S. P. The journal editors are currently at the American Chemical Society spring meeting, and one of them at the Japanese Chemical Society meeting, so if anyone is going, please meet up with them there. Details at the Sceptical Chymist (which is currently featuring meeting reports from the N Chem and N Chem Bio editors).

That’s such a careful analysis, isn’t it? Ah, things have moved on so much since my day. I had to draw all my structures by hand. A stencil was the height of sophistication.
