I believe the answer is:

chemical

(Other definitions for chemical that I've seen before include "Artificial compound" , "Symbolic representations of composition of substances" , "Material produced by a reaction involving changes in atoms or molecules" , "Chic male (anag.)" , "Of a substance such as ethanol" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
