Publisher's Synopsis
A complete treatment of all the problems encountered with complex equilibria, emphasizing the practical applications with special regard to biochemistry. It contains a thorough survey of the mixed ligand, polynuclear, protonated and outer sphere type complexes, and full description of metal complexes.;Attention is paid to the industrial and biological applications, the thermodynamics of the complexes of amino acids, peptides, proteins, purin and primidine bases, nucleotides and nucleic acids, while the general complex forming properties of different metal ions and the most important organic and inorganic ligands are treated in detail.;This book provides a balanced treatment of the theory of complex equilibria, treating all the types of species in a unified manner and providing a strategy for the study of any type of complex equilibrium systems from both an experimental and a computational point of view.
