该杂志提供了关于配位化学中当前感兴趣和重要主题的快速评论文章。术语“配位化学”被广泛地解释，包括有机金属化学、理论化学和生物无机化学的各个方面。一般来说，审查过去几年中某一特定领域的调查进展，或讨论用特定技术获得的结果。该期刊还收录了包括主要化学群、过渡金属化学群和有机金属化学的年度评论的专刊。好的评论对于从事无机化学工作的人来说是必不可少的教育工具。协调化学审查将继续作为这一重要领域信息性关键调查的焦点。
The journal offers rapid publication of review articles on topics of current interest and importance in coordination chemistry. The term 'coordination chemistry' is interpreted broadly, and includes aspects of organometallic, theoretical and bioinorganic chemistry. In general the reviews survey developments in a particular area during the last few years, or discuss the results obtained with a particular technique. The journal also incorporates special volumes containing annual reviews of the main group chemistry, on the transition metal group chemistry, and on organometallic chemistry. Good reviews are essential educational tools for those working in inorganic chemistry. Coordination Chemistry Reviews will continue to act as a focal point for informative critical surveys of this important area.
