Factors Affecting Stability of Metal Complexes with Reference to the Nature of Metal Ion and Ligand
The section of “Factors Affecting Stability of Metal Complexes with Reference to the Nature of Metal Ion and Ligand” from the chapter entitled “Metal-Ligand Equilibria in Solution” covers the following topics:
Nature of the Metal Ion: Size of the central metal ion, Charge on the central metal ion, Charge to size ratio of the metal ion, Class of the metal ion.
Nature of the Ligand: Charge and size of the ligand, Basicity of the ligand, Back-bonding capacity of ligand, Steric effects of the ligand, Dipole moment of the ligand, Special configuration of the ligand, Chelating effect of ligand, Macrocyclic effect of ligand, Concentration of ligand.
