\begin{document}
\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
A concise abstract (100--150 words) describing the chemistry, key findings, and
significance.
\end{abstract}

\section{Introduction}
Motivate the chemical problem. Cite prior work~\citep{refchem1}.

\section{Results and Discussion}
We synthesized \ce{[Fe(CN)6]^{3-}} via reaction of \ce{FeCl3} with \ce{KCN}
at room temperature:
\begin{equation*}
\ce{FeCl3 + 6 KCN -> K3[Fe(CN)6] + 3 KCl}
\end{equation*}
Characterization by \textsuperscript{1}H NMR, IR, and MS confirmed the product.

\section{Experimental}
\subsection{Materials}
All reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used without purification.

\subsection{Synthesis of compound 1}
To a solution of X (1.00 g, 5.0 mmol) in CH$_2$Cl$_2$ (20 mL) was added Y
(1.20 g, 6.0 mmol) at 0\textsuperscript{$\circ$}C. The mixture was stirred for
12 h, then concentrated under vacuum. Yield: 1.45 g (82\%).

\subsection{Characterization}
\textsuperscript{1}H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl$_3$) $\delta$ 7.35--7.25 (m, 5H), 4.52 (s, 2H).\\
MS (ESI+): m/z 215.1 [M+H]$^+$.

\section{Conclusions}
Summary of contribution.
