Study Notes

Complexation in Physical Pharmaceutics

A ligand is a molecule or ion that donates one or more electron pairs to a central atom or ion to form a complex.

Complexation Definition

Complexation is a process in which a central atom or ion, typically a metal ion, is bonded to one or more ligands, resulting in a complex species.

Altered Properties of Complexing Species

After complexation, the physical and chemical properties of the complexing species are altered, including changes in solubility, stability, and reactivity.

Bonds Involved in Complex Formation

Coordination bonds, also known as dative covalent bonds, are involved in complex formation, where the ligand donates one or more electron pairs to the central atom or ion.

Coordination Complex

A coordination complex, also known as a complex ion, is a complex species formed by the coordination of one or more ligands to a central atom or ion, resulting in a stable, three-dimensional structure.
