- TOC tips
- ACS TOC graphics are 8.25 cm × 4.45 cm (3.25 × 1.75 in): design at that size, landscape, readable when printed small.
- One message: reactants → catalyst → product, with the key feature highlighted; no paragraphs of text.
- Large structures and labels (at least 8–10 pt at final size); colour sparingly and consistently.
- Do not paste in the abstract text or a journal logo; check the size rules of the journal you submit to.
- Reaction and numbers are an example · every part of this figure is editable
