Details of the scope of each issue is below.

How to submit?
All types of manuscript—communications, full papers and Perspectives, will be considered for publication. The manuscript should be prepared according to our article guidelines and submitted via our online system.

All manuscripts will be subject to the normal refereeing procedure and inclusion in the themed issue will be at the discretion of the Guest Editors. Please indicate in your submission that you would like the manuscript to be considered for this themed issue.

Issue scopes:

New Expeditions in Polar Organometallic Chemistry
Guest edited by Professor Eva Hevia (University of Strathclyde), this issue will focus on both the synthesis and characterisation of polar organometallic reagents and their application in organic synthesis, catalysis, supramolecular chemistry and materials science.

Inorganic Chemistry for Renewable Energy Conversion and Storage
Guest edited by Professor Lars Kloo (KTH), this issue will focus on all aspects of inorganic/organometallic materials and coordination chemistry of relevance for the conversion and storage of renewable energy. Contributions may include solar cells, solar fuels, fuel cells, batteries, or materials for energy storage; however, this list is by no means exhaustive – all subject areas within the title theme will be welcome!

Spectroscopy of Inorganic Excited States

Advancing the Chemistry of the f-Elements

28 Nov 2013

Now welcoming abstract submissions for Dalton Discussion 14 – Advancing the Chemistry of the f-Elements

28th – 30th July 2014, Edinburgh, UK

Confirmed speakers:	Geoff Cloke, University of Sussex, UK
	Melissa Denecke, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
	Laurent Maron, Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France
	Jeffrey Long, University of California, Berkeley, USA
	Nik Kaltsoyannis, University College London, UK
	Marinella Mazzanti, CEA, Grenoble, France
	Paula Diaconescu, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
	Jonathan Lloyd, University of Manchester, UK

This Dalton Discussion aims to highlight the burgeoning role, and exciting prospects for f-elements in modern, metal-based chemistry. Abstracts for oral presentations must be sent in before 16th December 2013.

Authors of the selected oral abstracts will then be expected to submit their work as a full paper, which will form the basis of their short presentation at the Discussion meeting. The paper itself must contain new, unpublished work and be submitted for review to the Editorial Office of Dalton Transactions by 30th June 2014. At the conference, each author will be given approximately 5 minutes to summarise the key points of their paper in order to leave the majority of time open for discussion

This year, Dalton Discussion 14 is adopting a new process. Papers presented at Dalton Discussions will continue to be published in a dedicated themed issue of Dalton Transactions, however article peer-review will now take place after the Discussion. This means that speakers have longer to make the finishing touches to their article before the papers are made available online prior to the meeting.

Studying hydrogen activation of FLPs

04 Oct 2012

Scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have investigated the mechanism of heterolytic H₂ activation by frustrated lewis pairs (FLPs). To do this, they employed an unique approach of solution calorimetry and were able to obtain the enthalpies and relative rates of H₂ activation.

With the exception of previous studies that partly relied on theoretical calculations, there has not been a great deal of work devoted to understanding how molecular hydrogen is activated by FLPs. Autrey and colleagues have found that H₂ activation rates using such species are relatively fast considering no metals are involved. They discovered that the rate was dependent on the structure of the Lewis basic amine involved, and that diffusion of hydrogen across the gas-liquid interface is not rate limiting.

Further work is needed to extract fundamental rate constants, kinetic orders, and activation barriers, say the researchers.

This article is part of an upcoming themed issue on Boranes and Borohydrides, guest edited by Simon Aldridge. Other articles by this author include:

Methods to stabilize and destabilize ammonium borohydride

No stone left unturned at Dalton Discussion 13

20 Sep 2012

This year’s Dalton Discussion meeting was based at the University of Sheffield and focused on the topic of Inorganic Photophysics and Photochemistry – Fundamentals and Applications.

The 3 day programme was rich with contributions from Keynote speakers, Richard Eisenberg, Majed Chergui, Peter Ford and Luisa De Cola; Invited speakers, Craig Hill, David Parker, and Chantal Daniel; amongst numerous other excellent presenations from researchers across the international community.

The Dalton Discussion format differs slightly from other conferences in that speakers are alloted short 5-10 minute slots to deliver a snappy overview of their latest research based on the contents of their article which will shortly be published in a themed issue of Dalton Transactions.

For every 3 presentations, there follows an hour long discussion amongst the delegates – an excellent opportunity for researchers to get down to the gritty detail of the experiments, understand any tricky concepts, and offer alternative ideas to take the research forward. It was great to see even the graduate students asking questions – something that is sadly, rarely seen at conferences.

The poster sessions were also of great success. Many congratulations to Sven Hansen, Elizabeth Bagaley and Lucy Jones who won the Dalton Transactions, ChemComm and RSC Books poster prizes, respectively.

I am already very much looking forward to what next year’s Dalton Discussion meeting has to offer – which will be adopting a new and improved format for article submission. Watch this space…

Many thanks go to Mike Ward for providing photographs and also for organising such an excellent meeting!

Stronger crystal field interactions give actinides advantage over lanthanides in single-molecule magnet construction at high temperatures.

17 Aug 2012

Jeffrey Rinehart and Jeffrey Long compare the dynamic properties of the 4f³ complex, NdTp₃ (Tp^– = trispyrazolylborate), and its isostructural 5f³ congener, UTp₃. This is the first direct comparison of slow magnetic relaxation behaviour for isostructural and valence isoelectronic lanthanide and actinide complexes.
