Founded by the Swiss Chemical Society in 1917, Helvetica Chimica Acta is a monthly multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge in all areas of chemistry and to the timely publication of original full-paper contributions from all over the world. With emphasis on the multidisciplinary nature of the journal, progress in subdisciplines including but not limited to organic, inorganic, physical, technical, and analytical chemistry is reported. Outstanding professionals referee all contributions, and papers with full experimental data are carefully edited and published, on average, within 3 months of receipt. There is no restriction on the length of the papers or the scope of the chemistry presented. Preliminary communications and review papers are considered as well.
