International Journal of Oxygen Compounds
The International Journal of Oxygen Compounds (IJO) is a peer-reviewed, open-access platform dedicated to publishing high-impact research on the chemistry, synthesis, characterization, and applications of oxygen-containing molecules and materials. As an interdisciplinary forum, IJO bridges organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, materials science, spectroscopy, and computational chemistry to advance molecular understanding of oxygen compounds.
Our mission is to accelerate discovery by providing rapid, transparent publication of rigorous chemical research that explores oxygen's fundamental reactivity, bonding patterns, synthetic methodologies, and structural properties across diverse molecular systems.
IJO welcomes original research, comprehensive reviews, and technical communications that investigate oxygen compounds from molecular-level perspectives. Our scope encompasses fundamental chemistry, synthetic methodology, structural characterization, and materials applications grounded in chemical principles.
Synthetic Methodologies
Novel synthetic routes, catalytic processes, and reaction mechanisms for oxygen-containing organic and inorganic compounds.
Structural Chemistry
Molecular structure determination via X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and computational methods.
Chemical Reactivity
Oxidation-reduction mechanisms, free radical chemistry, oxygen transfer reactions, and reaction kinetics.
Materials Chemistry
Oxygen-based materials including metal oxides, functional polymers, catalysts, and nanostructured compounds.
Spectroscopic Analysis
Advanced characterization using IR, Raman, UV-Vis, EPR, and other spectroscopic techniques for oxygen compounds.
Computational Chemistry
Molecular modeling, DFT calculations, and theoretical investigations of oxygen compound properties and reactivity.
IJO publishes research across a broad spectrum of oxygen compound chemistry, emphasizing molecular-level understanding and chemical innovation.
Synthesis and reactivity of alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, and other oxygen-containing functional groups.
Metal oxides, coordination complexes, oxoanions, and inorganic oxygen compounds with emphasis on structure-property relationships.
Thermodynamics, kinetics, and spectroscopic properties of oxygen-containing molecules and radical species.
Synthesis, characterization, and properties of oxygen-containing polymers, including degradation mechanisms and stabilization.
Catalytic oxidation processes, oxygen activation mechanisms, and catalyst design for oxygen-mediated transformations.
Sustainable synthetic methods using oxygen as an oxidant, environmentally benign oxygen-based processes.
IJO maintains rigorous peer-review processes to ensure published research meets the highest standards of chemical research integrity, methodological soundness, and scientific contribution.
