--------------------------------------------------------------- The achemso bundle, version 3
The achemso bundle includes a series of files for supporting submission to the American Chemical Society. The current bundle includes: - achemso.cls, a class for writing article - achemso.sty, a more generally-useful package following the ACS standards - natmove.sty, a small support package to modify the behaviour of natbib - achemso.bst and biochem.bst, two BibTeX style files which between them cover all ACS journal styles
Version 3 is a complete re-write of the package. This is now the *official* class for LaTeX submissions to the ACS. The files have been tested by the publishers and work for submission. See: http://pubs.acs.org/paragonplus/submission/general/tex.html for details. The changes mean that users moving from version 2 should read the documentation very carefully. The BibTeX styles now *require*: - natbib - mciteplus while the package and class also *requires* notes2bib (and natmove). The recommended method for using the BibTeX styles is to load them using the package, i.e. \usepackage[options]{achemso} as this provides a customisable interface and also ensures the correct packages are loaded.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/achemso . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/achemso (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

achemso – Support for American Chemical Society journal submissions
The bundle provides a BibTeX style file following the requirements of the American Chemical Society (ACS), and a package to pass settings to the BibTeX style. It also includes a class which was used for submission support in the past.
All of this material is largely of historical interest and is retained for stability. For new material, the chem-acs style is available for bibliographies, and a short template for the ACS website is better suited to submission.
