There's no outright template for the preparation of tex files for ACS journals. However, there are two files provided: a bibtex styles file, achemso.bst, and a macro file, achemso.cls. Both are available in the texlive-latex-extra package on debian.
Luckily there's a lot of information online, including a demo file: ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/achemso/
Anyway, here's a simple file that can act as a template. Have a look at the demo file at ftp.dante.de for a much more exhaustive example, including how to use schemes and insert references.
You can figure out the journal abbreviations from their URLs. Otherwise, page 4 in this pdf has a list: http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/latex/achemso/achemso.pdf

Example:
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
