Undefined control sequence with mhchem package
1
I am using chemical reactions and formula in my document. However, I am getting a compiler error " undefined control sequence when using usepackage{mhchem}. If remove usepackage{mhchem}, my document compiles with errors due to using commands related to the mhchem package. For example, writing ce{H2O}. This is the heading of the document.
documentclass[10pt]{iopart}
usepackage{graphicx}
usepackage{mhchem}
newcommand{gguide}{{it Preparing graphics for IOP journals}}
begin{document}
Water vapor(ce{H2O}
Any suggestions for me?

Welcome to TeX.SE! When trying to run your code, the log message reveals thatmhchemloadsamsmath, butiopartdoes not seem to likeamsmath. It is really irritating thatioparthas this "feature" and a bit surprising thatmhchemloadsamsmath. (And you might want to add anend{document}to your code and replaceitbyitshape.) My conclusion is that you cannot haveiopartandmchemat the same time.

I did not know that mhchem loads amsmath. There is an incompatibility between amsmath and iopart.cls. iopart is the class on the journal template. I will consult the journal service team about using a different class. Thank you! that was helpful.
