Dive into the world of metal complex equilibria and the chelate effect. Learn about monodentate and bidentate ligands, chelate complexes, and the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation. Explore the philosophy of conditional constants in equilibrium constants.

The philosophy of conditional constants: Give equilibrium constants for cases deviating from the standard conditions for which the equilibrium constant of a single equilibrium is defined, i.e., give equilibrium constants for “complex conditions”
