Please place the appropriate symbol next to the author's name and include a \texttt{\textbackslash footnotetext} entry in the the correct place in the list.}
%%%END OF FOOTNOTES%%%
%%%MAIN TEXT%%%%
The main text of the article\cite{Mena2000} should appear here.
\subsection{This is the subsection heading style}
Section headings can be typeset with and without numbers.\cite{Abernethy2003}
\subsubsection{This is the subsubsection style.~~} These headings should end in a full point.
\paragraph{This is the next level heading.~~} For this level please use \texttt{\textbackslash paragraph}. These headings should also end in a full point.
\section{Graphics and tables}
\subsection{Graphics}
Graphics should be inserted on the page where they are first mentioned (unless they are equations, which appear in the flow of the text).\cite{Cotton1999}
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[height=3cm]{example1}
\caption{An example figure caption.}
\label{fgr:example}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure*}
\centering
\includegraphics[height=3cm]{example2}
\caption{A two-column figure.}
\label{fgr:example2col}
\end{figure*}
\subsection{Tables}
Tables typeset in RSC house style do not include vertical lines. Table footnote symbols are lower-case italic letters and are typeset at the bottom of the table. Table captions do not end in a full point.\cite{Arduengo1992,Eisenstein2005}
\begin{table}[h]
\small
\caption{\ An example of a caption to accompany a table}
\label{tbl:example1}
\begin{tabular*}{0.48\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}}lll}
\hline
Header one (units) & Header two & Header three \\
\hline
1 & 2 & 3 \\
4 & 5 & 6 \\
7 & 8 & 9 \\
10 & 11 & 12 \\
\hline
\end{tabular*}
\end{table}
Adding notes to tables can be complicated. Perhaps the easiest method is to generate these manually.\footnote[4]{Footnotes should appear here. These might include comments relevant to but not central to the matter under discussion, limited experimental and spectral data, and crystallographic data.}
\begin{table*}
\small
\caption{\ An example of a caption to accompany a table \textendash\ table captions do not end in a full point}
\label{tbl:example2}
\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}}lllllll}
\hline
Header one & Header two & Header three & Header four & Header five & Header six & Header seven\\
\hline
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7\\
8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 \\
15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21\\
\hline
\end{tabular*}
\end{table*}
\section{Equations}
Equations can be typeset inline \textit{e.g.}\ $ y = mx + c$ or displayed with and without numbers:
\[ A = \pi r^2 \]
\begin{equation}
\frac{\gamma}{\epsilon x} r^2 = 2r
\end{equation}
You can also put lists into the text. You can have bulleted or numbered lists of almost any kind.
The \texttt{mhchem} package can also be used so that formulae are easy to input: \texttt{\textbackslash ce\{H2SO4\}} gives \ce{H2SO4}.
For footnotes in the main text of the article please number the footnotes to avoid duplicate symbols. \textit{e.g.}\ \texttt{\textbackslash footnote[num]\{your text\}}. The corresponding author $\ast$ counts as footnote 1, ESI as footnote 2, \textit{e.g.}\ if there is no ESI, please start at [num]=[2], if ESI is cited in the title please start at [num]=[3] \textit{etc.} Please also cite the ESI within the main body of the text using \dag.
\section{Conclusions}
The conclusions section should come in this section at the end of the article, before the Conflicts of interest statement.
\section*{Author Contributions}
