Dalton Transactions welcomes new Associate Editor Neal Mankad

04 May 2023

By Emily Cuffin-Munday, Development Editor.

We are delighted to welcome our new Associate Editor Professor Neal Mankad to the Dalton Transactions Editorial Board!

Neal P. Mankad received his S.B. in chemistry from MIT in 2004 after having conducted undergraduate research with Prof. Joseph P. Sadighi on copper N-heterocyclic carbene complexes. In 2010, Neal earned a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from Caltech as an NSF graduate research fellow under the supervision of Prof. Jonas C. Peters, working on biomimetic and bioinspired complexes of copper and iron. During 2010-2012, he was an NIH postdoctoral research fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, with Prof. F. Dean Toste studying fundamental organometallic chemistry of gold.

Since 2012, Neal has been an independent faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), where his group focuses on synthetic inorganic and organometallic systems relevant to chemical sustainability. Selected research awards earned by Neal include the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship and the NIH Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA). He has also gained distinction for excellence in teaching, including by the UIC Teaching Recognition Program.

Dalton turns 50 – celebrating our board members past and present

10 Dec 2021

By Samantha Apps, Deputy Editor.

We are delighted to announce our new themed collection: Dalton turns 50 – celebrating our board members past and present.

2021 is a huge milestone for Dalton Transactions – the publication of its 50th volume! Since its launch in 1972—then named Journal of the Chemical Society, Dalton Transactions—the journal has published over 45,000 articles featuring contributions from over 100 countries across six continents. Dalton Transactions is a truly international journal with an international readership and this global reach is a result of the work of our many editorial and advisory board members over the years.

This themed collection, part of our 50th volume celebrations, celebrates the high quality research published in Dalton Transactions authored by our board members past and present. The breadth and diversity of the field of inorganic chemistry is illustrated by this collection, as well as the new avenues being explored. This collection is guest edited by our current Dalton Transactions Editorial Board Chair, Professor Russell Morris (University of St Andrews), and the Executive Editor, Dr Andrew Shore (Royal Society of Chemistry).

Tin: Modern chemistry of an element from antiquity

09 Dec 2021

By Samantha Apps, Deputy Editor.

We are delighted to announce our new themed collection on Tin: Modern chemistry of an element from antiquity.

This themed collection is part of our 50th volume celebrations and focuses on the inorganic, metal-organic and organometallic chemistry of the heavier Group 14 element, tin, as the 50th element in the periodic table.

As an element, tin has been exploited by humanity for over 5000 years, since it was realised that its alloy with copper provided an even more durable material, bronze. In more recent times, and throughout the half century of Dalton Transactions, tin has played, and continues to occupy, a central role in the development of many of our current perspectives on the bonding and application of the whole gamut of main group element chemistry.

Guest edited by Professor Mike Hill (University of Bath) and Professor John McGrady (University of Oxford), this collection of reports reflects our prevailing interest in an element that has played a central role not only in the development of modern chemistry but in human history. Both of the commonly accessible (II) and (IV) oxidation states are represented by this compendium of reports, which span fundamental studies of bonding and structure to emerging applications in small molecule activation, catalysis and materials science.

Celebrating our top 50 articles over the last 50 years

02 Nov 2021

By Samantha Apps, Deputy Editor.

We are celebrating the 50^th volume of Dalton Transactions this year!

As part of our 50^th anniversary celebrations, we want to highlight 50 of our most highly cited articles published over the last 50 years. These highly cited articles represent research that has been well-received by the community over the years, including seminal work in the field of inorganic chemistry and some notable review articles in key fields that have emerged over the last half-century.

Our top 50 list reflects the full scope of Dalton Transactions, with many articles containing useful pieces of information used for reference by inorganic chemists. One example includes our most cited article of all time by Addison and co-workers (with over 8000 citations*), which defines the structural parameter τ₅ for the first time as an ‘index of trigonality’ for five-coordinate metal complexes. Another example includes one of our oldest articles from 1973, describing the preparation of [RuCl₂(DMSO)₄] as a useful ruthenium(II) precursor.

Our top 50 list includes articles from as early as 1973 to as recent as 2019, and our most cited articles are typically from the 1980s and the 2000s. The 50 articles in our list have garnered a total of over 43,000 citations.

You can browse the selection of our top 50 most highly cited articles categorised by subject area below, or see the full list on our collection webpage.
