Transition metals abound in biology, chemical catalysis, and materials. However, their ab initio description is thought to be a notoriously difficult challenge for quantum chemical methods. In this talk, I will investigate the nature and relevance of strong correlation in transition metal compounds ranging from diatomics to mono- and multi-metal complexes, through the lens of symmetry breaking. Connections will be made to bridge such ideas with (perhaps) more familiar chemical concepts such as molecular orbital theory, and along the way, when relevant, I will allude to promising developments in the application of auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo to transition metal-containing systems.
