The Chelate Effect Redefined.
da Silva, J. J. R. Frausto
Journal of Chemical Education, v60 n5 p390-92 May 1983
Discusses ambiguities of the accepted definition of the chelate effect, suggesting that it be defined in terms of experimental observation rather than mathematical abstraction. Indicates that the effect depends on free energy change in reaction, ligand basicity, pH of medium, type of chelates formed, and concentration of ligands in solution. (JN)
