Scope
Dalton Transactions is a journal for all areas of inorganic chemistry, which encompasses the organometallic, bioinorganic and materials chemistry of the elements, with applications including synthesis, catalysis, energy conversion/storage, electrical devices and medicine. Dalton Transactions welcomes high-quality, original submissions in all of these areas and more, where the advancement of knowledge in inorganic chemistry is significant. Specific guidance for some areas of our scope is given below.
Solid-state inorganic materials (including nanomaterials): We encourage work in the area of solid-state, materials and nano-chemistry that includes a significant inorganic chemistry component. Contributions could include the synthesis, characterisation, and applications of new inorganic or inorganic-organic hybrid solids, together with studies of their properties. However, studies of properties of known compounds are only encouraged if there is a clear advance in the inorganic chemistry, and where this forms a major component of both the novelty and significance in the paper.
Catalysis: Studies that utilize well-characterized inorganic and organometallic compounds as catalysts for chemical transformations are welcome but must emphasize the advancement of knowledge in inorganic chemistry. This would include catalyst design and synthesis, structure-activity relationships and/or mechanistic studies.
Work reporting new catalysts for well-studied reactions must contextualize the reported results within the state-of-the-art to demonstrate impact and advancement. Studies that generate ill-defined species in situ and/or report tables of catalytic data without appropriate comparison with existing catalysts will not be considered at Dalton Transactions.
Bioinorganic and medicinal inorganic chemistry: We welcome work on model compounds of metalloenzymes and biologically active inorganic compounds, including reports on their synthesis, characterization and studies of their applications. Spectroscopic or computational work on metalloenzymes, or pure biochemical, biological, or biomedical studies on inorganic compounds are only encouraged if they clearly relate to specific properties of the metals or metalloid elements involved, and significantly further our understanding of inorganic chemistry.
The same applies to papers related to the sensing and visualization of biorelevant metal ions. Such work is expected to have its focus on inorganic aspects and must completely characterize the inorganic compounds involved.
Theoretical and computational studies: We welcome studies that report new models of reactivity, selectivity, bonding or structure, or new computational methods, that have relevance for the design of subsequent experiments.
This is most clearly demonstrated by the description of testable predictions derived from the results of the reported theoretical work; the tests of these predictions could be contained in the same paper in which the predictions are described. Computational research that merely reproduces experimental data is not normally suitable for Dalton Transactions.
Analytical/separation studies and sensor development: Analytical studies on inorganic species are encouraged provided there is significant insight into the chemistry of the inorganic component. Speciation and separation studies that are primarily based around kinetic and thermodynamic models are not considered suitable for Dalton Transactions. Organic sensors in which the primary insight is the synthesis or behaviour of the sensor, rather than an inorganic chemistry advance, will not normally be considered.
Dalton Transactions expects complete characterization of all new compounds/materials by state of the art methods, and that the purity of any compound or material used or reported must be adequately demonstrated (please refer to our Journal Specific Guidelines below for detailed information).

Dalton Transactions UC Berkeley Lecture
This Lecture recognises early career researchers, who have made a significant contribution to the field of inorganic chemistry, in their independent academic career.
This Lecture is presented annually. The recipient is announced in the autumn.
The Lecture is not open to nominations. The recipient is decided by a vote of the inorganic faculty of University of California, Berkeley.
The recipient receives: the opportunity to present at the University of California, Berkeley, a plaque, a $500 honorarium and an honorary dinner. Also an invitation to contribute an article to Dalton Transactions.
Latest recipient: Theodor Agapie Caltech, USA
