Chelation (/ k iː ˈ l eɪ ʃ ən /) is a type of bonding of ions and their molecules to metal ions. It involves the formation or presence of two or more separate coordinate bonds between a polydentate (multiple bonded) ligand and a single central metal atom.
DOTA (also known as tetraxetan) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2 CH 2 NCH 2 CO 2 H) 4. The molecule consists of a central 12-membered tetraaza (i.e., containing four nitrogen atoms) ring. DOTA is used as a complexing agent, especially for lanthanide ions. Its complexes have medical applications as contrast agents and cancer treatments.

Chelating resins are a class of ion-exchange resins.They are almost always used to bind cations, and utilize chelating agents covalently attached to a polymer matrix. Chelating resins have the same bead form and polymer matrix as usual ion excha
TPEN (N,N,N ′,N ′-tetrakis(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine [1]) is an intracellular membrane-permeable ion chelator. [2] TPEN has a high affinity for many transition metals and should not be considered specific or selective for a particular ion. Chelators can be used in chelation therapy to remove toxic metals in the body. TPEN is a ...
By altering the properties of the pincer ligands, it is possible to significantly alter the chemistry at the metal centre. Changing the hardness/softness of the donor, using electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) in the backbone, and the altering the steric constraints of the ligands are all methods used to tune the reactivity at the metal centre.
FeSO 4 ∙7H 2 O + K 2 H 2 Y + 1/4 O 2 → K[FeY(H 2 O)]. H 2 O + KHSO 4 + 5.5 H 2 O (1) [8] Iron chelate has also been used as a bait in the chemical control of slugs, snails and slaters in agriculture in Australia and New Zealand. They have advantages over other more generally poisonous substances used as their toxicity is more specific to ...
EDDHA or ethylenediamine-N,N ′-bis(2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid) is a chelating agent.Like EDTA, it binds metal ions as a hexadentate ligand, using two amines, two phenolate centers, and two carboxylates as the six binding sites.
