Individual skill
jacs-methods
Use when checking synthesis and characterization rigor for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript — purity, NMR/HRMS/IR/UV-vis, elemental analysis or HPLC, single-crystal X-ray/CCDC, and catalysis controls/mechanism/kinetics. Audits experimental rigor — it does not write narrative or polish prose.

# Synthesis and Characterization Rigor (jacs-methods)
## When to trigger
- New compounds are reported and you must confirm full characterization
- A reviewer could ask "is this compound pure?" or "where is the X-ray?"
- A mechanism is claimed but only proposed, not tested
- Catalysis scope/selectivity is reported and controls are unclear
## Characterization rigor by claim type
JACS requires that **claims are fully supported by characterization data and
appropriate controls**. Match the data package to what you assert.
