Transition Metal Chemistry

Transition Metal Chemistry is an international peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Springer (now part of Springer Nature). It focuses on the preparation and application of transition metal-based molecular compounds, dealing with their structural, physical, kinetic, catalytic and biological properties, and examining their use in chemical synthesis as well as diverse applications. The journal publishes original articles, review articles and invited book reviews. The journal was first published in 1975 and currently appears with eight issues per year. Its Editor-in-Chief is Frédéric Barrière, PhD. According to the journal's official metrics, the Journal Impact Factor is 2.8 (2025) and the 5-year Journal Impact Factor is 1.6 (2025); the median submission-to-first-decision time is 2 days, and downloads reached 134.4k in 2025. Earlier, the 2020 Impact Factor was reported as 1.588, and the journal was ranked 27th out of 44 journals in the inorganic chemistry category by ISI Web of Knowledge statistics. The journal is indexed and abstracted in major scientific databases and is available through Springer Nature Link. It regularly issues calls for papers and thematic collections, such as "Shaping the Future of Bioinorganic Chemistry: Emerging Talents and Established Innovators" and "Transition Metals in Molecular Electronics," both open for submissions with a deadline of 31 December 2026. Recent articles include studies on doped NiCo-LDH as bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting, second-harmonic generation enhancement in ZrCl4-BDC MOFs-CDs nanocomposites, and crystal structure and cholinesterase inhibition investigations of copper complexes. As a specialized chemistry journal, Transition Metal Chemistry serves researchers in inorganic, organometallic, coordination, bioinorganic and materials chemistry. It is part of Springer's extensive portfolio of over 2,700 journals and more than 220,000 books, and it benefits from the global reach and publishing infrastructure of Springer Nature.

Transition Metal Chemistry was established in 1975 by Springer-Verlag. From its first issue, the journal has been devoted to the chemistry of transition metals, publishing research on the preparation, structure, physical properties, kinetics, catalysis and biological activity of transition metal compounds. It appears eight times a year. Over the decades the journal has been indexed in major scientific databases. According to ISI Web of Knowledge statistics, its 2020 Impact Factor was 1.588, ranking it 27th among 44 journals in the inorganic chemistry category. By 2025, the journal reported a Journal Impact Factor of 2.8 and a 5-year Journal Impact Factor of 1.6, with a median submission-to-first-decision time of 2 days and 134.4k downloads in 2025. The journal is published under the Springer imprint, which is part of Springer Nature. It maintains an active program of calls for papers and thematic collections, including "Shaping the Future of Bioinorganic Chemistry: Emerging Talents and Established Innovators" and "Transition Metals in Molecular Electronics," both open for submissions until 31 December 2026. The journal's Editor-in-Chief is Frédéric Barrière, PhD.
