It is our great pleasure to introduce the Dalton Transactions themed issue, dedicated to showcasing the outstanding contributions of emerging scientists in the field of inorganic chemistry from the Asia-Pacific region. As the editorial team, we are excited to shine a spotlight on the remarkable achievements and innovative research carried out by these new and extremely talented chemists.

In recent years, the Asia-Pacific region has emerged as a vibrant and dynamic hub for scientific research and innovation. The caliber of research coming from this part of the world has been nothing short of remarkable. We recognize the importance of providing a platform to highlight and celebrate the achievements of these talented early-career researchers who are making a significant impact on inorganic chemistry.

The articles featured in this issue span a wide range of topics within inorganic chemistry, including coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, materials science, catalysis, and more. The diversity of research presented here underscores the depth and breadth of talent in the Asia-Pacific region. From novel synthetic methodologies to groundbreaking applications in various fields, the contributions of these early-career scientists exemplify the innovative spirit that drives our scientific community forward.

As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of chemistry and explore new frontiers in inorganic chemistry research, we look forward to witnessing the continued growth and success of the emerging talents showcased in this issue. We hope that their work will inspire the next generation of inorganic chemists, both in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey through the world of inorganic chemistry. We invite you to delve into the articles presented in this themed issue, discover new insights, and celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of our rising stars in the Asia-Pacific inorganic chemistry community. We also express our gratitude to Dr Samantha Apps, Dr Emily Cuffin-Munday, Dr Kate Tustain, and the team in the Editorial Office at Dalton Transactions for their continuous support and encouragement.
