Dalton Transactions published a web collection this week guest-edited by Armando Pombeiro which focusses on the various roles of nitrogen ligands in modern chemistry and pays tribute to the 150th anniversary of the development of the periodic table. This collection of over 40 reports, demonstrates the versatility of nitrogen ligands and their complexes across a range of chemical specialisms. As evidenced by the number and diversity of the contributions to this collection, nitrogen ligand chemistry continues to gather great interest and there is vast and exciting scope for the future use of nitrogen ligands across a wide diversity of fields.

Moving from an Editorial Board member position to an Associate Editor, Professor Chandrasekhar brings a wealth of experience to his new role. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, in 1982. After a post-doctoral stint at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, he joined the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 1987 and he is currently at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Hyderabad as a Distinguished Professor and Centre Director.
Li-Min joins us as an Associate Editor based at Nanjing University where she received her Ph.D. degree in Chemistry in 1992. She then joined Nanjing University as a faculty member, and became a lecturer (1992-1997), associate professor (1997-2002) and professor (2002-present). She was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Zurich in Switzerland (1994-1996) and a visiting scholar at the University of Houston in the United States (1999-2000), ETH Zurich in Switzerland (2007) and Kyoto University in Japan (2012). She has published over 230 research papers.
