Journal of Coordination Chemistry is published by Taylor and Francis Ltd. and is in Zone 4 of Chemistry in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Metal complexes synthesis and properties, Magnetism in coordination complexes and Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications, together about 47.8% of its articles. Its main subfields are Inorganic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)

Journal of Coordination Chemistry publishes original research on coordination compounds, defined as interactions between organic or inorganic ligands with metal centers and/or main group elements. Our scope encompasses both molecular species and extended structures such as coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks. Research Focus We welcome fundamental studies that include: Synthesis and structural characterization Physical and chemical properties Reaction kinetics and mechanisms Experimental and computational approaches Application Areas We encourage application-focused research across diverse fields including: Bioinorganic chemistry Organometallics Catalysis Medicinal chemistry Photophysics and photochemistry Separations chemistry Article Types Research Articles Original investigations that make clear contributions to advancing coordination chemistry. Rapid Communications Concise manuscripts presenting urgent findings that warrant expedited publication. Review Articles Comprehensive assessments in all areas of coordination chemistry, focusing on metals, ligands, or applications. Reviews of emerging areas should build from fundamentals and connect to the broader field, while reviews of established topics should critically evaluate recent developments. Authors may submit a one-page proposal outlining their chosen topic and will receive an editorial response within one week. Data Notes Crystal structure reports presenting and describing single or multiple crystal data sets. Methods Descriptions of novel synthetic methodologies for known or new coordination compounds, supported by comprehensive characterization data. Authors wishing to submit should review our Instructions for Authors. Peer Review Policy All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to rigorous and rapid peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymous and submission in online via Submission Portal.
