The present article describes the development of the Inorganic Chemistry in Brazil in the last 15 years, using as starting point the scientific contributions of a group of 405 researchers selected among the members of the Inorganic Chemistry Division of the Brazilian Chemical Society (SBQ), and active participants of both SBQ Annual Meetings and Brazilian Meetings on Inorganic Chemistry. A total of 3006 articles, representative of the Brazilian scientific production on Inorganic Chemistry from 2002 to January 2017, was analyzed. Among the various aspects evaluated are: prevalent research topics, production impact, geographic distribution within Brazil, international collaborations, and human resource background, development, and perspectives. The evolution of the Inorganic Chemistry production in Brazil in the last 15 years was analyzed considering the concurrent expansion of Brazilian graduate and post-graduate educational system along with availability of funding resources. Information from sources such as CAPES, Sucupira database, eMEC, Web of Science, and CNPq, complemented the scientific production data gathered from the Curriculum Vitae (Lattes Curriculum database) of the 405 representative inorganic chemistry researchers. The present analysis expands the previous 1977-2001 study by Toma, Ferreira, and Serra (Quim. Nova 2002, 25, 66), depicting, thus, a 40-year scenery of Inorganic Chemistry in Brazil, which overlaps with the period of activity of SBQ.
