1 Note: The use of this manuscript template is obligatory.

Its main purpose is to

2 set the manuscript format that will simplify the work of reviewers and editors
3 as much as possible. The text of the template should also help our authors to
4 avoid the most typical formal problems occurring in the manuscripts. Finally,
5 a few journal-specific applications of the general instructions for authors are
6 defined by this template.

27 Abstract
28

29 The Abstract should be in the form of a single paragraph up to 200 words

30 summarizing the principal results obtained. Its content and form must respect that it is used
31 separately from the main text in the abstract databases. The hyphenation of words must not be
32 used.Lines and pages must be numbered in the whole document. Do not remove them from
33 this template!All acronyms used in the Abstract must be explained at their first occurrence in
34 this part independently of their explanation in the main text. The authors can choose either the
35 U.S. or U.K. English style but this style must be used consistently throughout the manuscript.
36

37 Keywords: 4–6 terms characterizing the topic of the manuscript most eloquently.

40 Main text sections:

41 Original Paper:This type of manuscript has standard sections: Introduction, Theoretical
42 (optional), Experimental, Results and discussion (can be also two separate parts),
43 Conclusions, Acknowledgements (optional), Symbols (optional), Supporting
44 information (optional), References.
45 Review: Only Conclusions,Acknowledgements (optional), Symbols (optional), Supporting
46 information (optional), and References are fixed section names.
47 Short Communication: The main text should not be divided into separate sections. It should
48 be formed by a continuous text followed by the References.
49

50 Introduction
51

52 Note: We usean antiplagiarism tool that very efficiently detectsmatches of the text withthe
53 existing publications. Any use of whole statements copied verbatim breaks the
54 copyright law and is considered a form of (self-)plagiarism. A citation of source is
55 insufficient in such case. A manuscript with these defects will be either returned for
56 immediate corrections or rejected without peer-review if the overlaps are excessive.
57

58 The Introduction must contain an accurate and concise analysis of the existing
59 knowledge on the investigated scientific problem. A very broad overview of the scientific
60 topicand related background as well as the compilation of a long list of cited references
 3

61 should be avoided.The most illustrative citations should be included using the Author-Year
62 citation style. The final paragraph should indicate the motivation and objectives of the
63 conducted work.
64

65

66 Theoretical
67

68 This optional sectionshould be used only if more extensive theoretical derivations are
69 needed. Simplertheories and methods should be a part of either Introduction or Experimental,
70 respectively. All equations, including those describing chemical reactions, must be written in
71 separate lines and numbered.Examples:
72

73 C  O 2  CO 2 Δ r H   394 kJ mol 1 (1)

74 PV  nRT (2)
75

76 whereP is the pressure, V volume, n amount of substance, R universal gas constant, and T
77 temperature.
78 The symbols of quantities should be explained immediately below the equation where
79 they were used for the first time even when they appear in the list of symbols.
80

81

82 Experimental
83

84 In order to have the uniform layout of all original articles, the Experimental section
85 must precede the Results and discussion. Data on the providers (name, city, country of origin)
86 of materials and equipment must be specified. A concise and accurate description of methods
87 enabling their reproduction by others is necessary. The information on the reproducibility,
88 accuracy, and uncertainty of the methods should be provided here if it applies to the whole
89 Results and discussion section. Otherwise, it should be included in individual figures and
90 tables. Illustrative figures, drawings or photographs of set-up and equipment should be
91 avoided in the main text. They can beincluded as a part ofElectronic Supplementary Material.
 4

92 Sections can be divided into subsections in a sensible way so that the text would not be
93 fragmented into many small paragraphs having a few lines. An example below illustrates two
94 levels of subsections.
95

96 Materials
97

98 Chemicals
99

100 Compounds can be labeled with Arabic numerals. For example: Triphenylamine(1)
101 (5.0 g, 20.4 mmol) and dry dimethylformamide(15.0 mL) were added into the mixture. (Note:
102 This is a significant change because Roman numerals were used in the previous journal
103 format.) Reaction mechanisms can be labelled as numbered Schemes or Figures. Schemes do
104 not have captions (see Scheme 1 below). All drawings and plots should be pasted into the
105 document using the option “Paste Special” that simplifies their editing.

112 Results and discussion

113

114 Tables and figures must be embedded in a logical place of the manuscript text in order
115 to make the work of reviewers comfortable. High-resolution figures should be uploaded also
116 as separate files during submission of the final version. The submission of all figures and
117 tables as separate files, which is specified in the general instructions for authors, is only
118 optional. Fig. 1 and Table 1 show illustrative examples.
119 Figures should be inserted in a line not at a fixed page position to avoid problems in
120 the outlook of the online-system generated PDF-files. If figures or tables contain symbols
121 used for the first time within a manuscript, they must be specified in the legend or footnote.

139 Fig. 2 illustrates a preferred form of a semilogarithmic plot. Decimal form of numbers
140 should be avoided if it would result in the axis values containing too many zeroes. Scientific
141 notation must not be in the computer form, i.e. not 1E−5 but 10−5.

144 Conclusions
145

146 The Conclusions section contains a briefanalysis of principal findings and

147 significanceof the work. It can also contain a synthetic part specifying future research
148 directions. References to figures and tables presented in Results and discussion can be used.
149 The Conclusionsmust not be a re-worded abstract. Unlike an abstract, the Conclusions are
150 primarily determined to those who read the whole paper.

155 Symbols
156

157 Note: Symbols is an optional sectionthat lists all symbols, names, and units of variables used
158 in the manuscript in alphabetic order. Latin and Greek letter symbols as well as subscripts
159 and superscripts must be sorted separately as shown in the examples below.

185 References
186

187 Note: Only the long format of references from the two specified in the general instructions for
188 authors is acceptable. Article, book, thesis or patent titles must be given. Examples of book,
189 journal article and book chapter are given below. DOI numbers are required when they are
190 available. DOI numbers can be best found in the tables of contents on journal webpages.
191 Although DOI numbers appeared in printed or electronic versions of articles only after the
192 year 2000, most major publishers assigned DOI numbers backwards since the first journal
193 volume. They can be retrieved also from many abstract databases.
