The Selectivity of Ligands of Biological Interest for Metal Ions in Aqueous Solution. Some Implications for Biology

  • Chapter
Metal Complexes in Aqueous Solutions

Part of the book series: Modern Inorganic Chemistry ((MICE))

Abstract

In Chapters 1 to 4, the factors that control selective complexation of metal ions were discussed. Here factors that control strength of metal-ligand interactions as these might relate to metal ions in biology are examined. It is not possible here to give an exhaustive account of selective complexation of metal ions in biology. Rather, factors that control selectivity are examined as they relate to selected examples in biology, and it is hoped that readers will be able to identify these same principles acting in their own area of interest in metal ions in biology.
