Metal Complexes in Aqueous Solutions

This unique reference details current research on the formation and stabilities of metal complexes, chelates, macrocyclic complexes, and cryptates in aqueous solutions. Chapters thoroughly describe the principles of ligand design and their application to a wide variety of metal ions. In addition, the text examines medicinal and biochemical applications of metal complexes. This work will make an invaluable supplementary text for advanced inorganic chemistry courses.
