This is the first in a series of themed web collections on research topics that spotlight the fundamental and applied inorganic chemistry driving, influencing and steering each field of study. They will be guest edited by experts in the fields and will feature previously published and newly commissioned research in each topic.  The aim is to provide a resource of high quality research for someone entering the field, for teachers to recommend to their students, to illuminate new directions for those in the field and demonstrate the vital role inorganic chemistry contributes to these fields.

Guest-edited by Simon B. Duckett, M. Carmen Nicasio and Michael K. Whittlesey, we reccently published a special collection of Dalton Transactions to mark the 70th birthday of mentor, friend and colleague, Professor Robin Perutz FRS. The collection features areas of organometallic and coordination chemistry where Robin has contributed over the last 40+ years. Themed around the breaking of bonds, it includes both thermal and photochemical bond breakage and activation in stoichiometric and catalytic reactions. Spectroscopic characterisation of reaction intermediates features alongside experimental and computational studies of reactivity.
