The Russian Journal of Coordination Chemistry publishes reviews and original papers dealing with achievements of the theoretical and applied coordination chemistry. Brief communications (not more than 4 pages of the main text excluding figures and tables) and Letters to the Editor (not more than 2 pages of the main text) are preferred for key studies that require prompt publication. All papers must contain experimental data required to reproduce the synthesis and to prove the statements. For newly synthesized compounds, not only the individual character and composition should be unambiguously established but also the structure should be determined using advanced methods, first of all, X-ray diffraction. In the case of known compounds or their analogs, it should be clearly demonstrated what unusual or practically valuable properties have been found for them (thermodynamic, optical, magnetic, biological, etc.). It is important not only to state, some influence of a metal complex on the properties but also to substantiate this influence by the nature of the metal or the ligands or specific structural features of the complexes.
