Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the chemical and biological interactions of metal compounds, including polyoxometalates and coordination complexes, with biological systems. Research explores their potential therapeutic applications, particularly in cancer treatment and antimicrobial therapies, and investigates their mechanisms of action at the molecular level. The journal also covers the development and application of advanced spectroscopic and imaging techniques for studying these interactions and their biological effects.
