The Journal of Coordination Chemistry publishes the results of original investigations involving the physical and chemical properties, syntheses and structures of coordination compounds. Its scope may be defined as being concerned with the interactions of organic and inorganic ligands with metal centres. Material on applications of coordination compounds may be included when relevant. Short reviews of current research in coordination chemistry will also be considered for publication. In addition to full articles, preliminary communications of results (up to 1000 words) may be submitted. The journal intends to shorten considerably the time between receipt, acceptance and publication of such articles in order to provide a mechanism for speedy publication of preliminary accounts of original and significant findings in coordination chemistry. Short articles that lack urgency are also acceptable to the journal and will be published in due course, as long as the desire to avoid multiple publication is met.

The Editor also welcomes review articles in all areas of coordination chemistry, including inorganic solid state chemistry, organometallic chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry, as well as applications to analytical chemistry, catalysis, industrial chemistry and materials science. Articles may focus primarily on the metal, the ligand or the application. Given the limitation in length for the reviews, two extreme cases can be envisaged. Topics of emerging interest should be developed fully from basics. Careful attention must be paid to the way in which the new area relates to the field in general. Reviews of well-established subjects should collect developments from the literature and take a critical view of recent activities. Books for review should be sent to the Editor, at the address here.

All published research articles in the Journal of Coordination Chemistry have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert reviewers.
