21 Jun 2024

By Emily Cuffin-Munday, Development Editor.

We are delighted to announce the winner of our 2023 Outstanding Paper Award.

The Outstanding Paper Award is aimed at recognising the great work published in Dalton Transactions from the previous year. The process for selecting the winner involves the shortlisting of papers published in the journal within the previous year based on nominations by members of the Editorial Board as well as a variety of metrics including article downloads, Altmetric score and citations. The Editorial Board then votes on this shortlist to select the winner.

Construction of Pd-based coordination cages with three geometrically distinct ligands

Ru-Jin Li, Jean de Montmollin, Farzaneh Fadaei-Tirani, Rosario Scopelliti and Kay Severin*

Dalton Trans., 2023, 52, 6451-6456

Graphical abstract for article: d3dt00248a.

In this outstanding article, the authors combined three different dipyridyl ligands with [Pd(CH₃CN)₄](BF₄)₂ to give mixtures of homo- and/or heteroleptic coordination cages. They found that the structural flexibility of ligands with alkynyl spacers were important for the formation of the heteroleptic complexes.

Spotlight Collection: Aggregation Induced Luminescence of Metal Complexes

20 Sep 2023

By Emily Cuffin-Munday, Development Editor.

We are delighted to announce our new spotlight collection on aggregation induced luminescence of metal complexes. Spotlight Collections are ongoing themed collections highlighting the best past and present work in Dalton Transactions.

Metal complexes have been known as luminescent materials for decades and still represent an extremely attractive class of materials due to their peculiar structure-related properties. As a consequence, they have found applications as responsive supramolecular motifs, sensors and photocatalysts. In the last 10 years, the emerging field of Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) demonstrated how a vast variety of compounds are able to switch from negligible emissive compounds in solutions to intensely luminescent materials upon aggregation.

This Spotlight Collection is focused on recent advances of AIE-active metal complexes published in Dalton Transactions, displaying the synthetic strategies for the preparation of new coordination motifs, their photophysical properties and their use as tuneable emissive materials in sensing-oriented and opto-electronic applications, aiming to define useful design principles for future improvements.

This collection is guest edited by Dalton Transactions Associate Editor Professor Paola Ceroni (University of Bologna, Italy), Dr Andrea Fermi (University of Bologna, Italy) and Professor Inamur R. Laskar (Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, India).
