Stability constants are fundamental to understanding the behavior
of metal ions in aqueous solution. Such understanding is important
in a wide variety of areas, such as metal ions in biology,
biomedical applications, metal ions in the environment, extraction
metallurgy, food chemistry, and metal ions in many industrial
processes. In spite of this importance, it appears that many
inorganic chemists have lost an appreciation for the importance of
stability constants, and the thermodynamic aspects of complex
formation, with attention focused over the last thirty years on
newer areas, such as organometallic chemistry. This book is an
attempt to show the richness of chemistry that can be revealed by
stability constants, when measured as part of an overall strategy
aimed at understanding the complexing properties of a particular
ligand or metal ion. Thus, for example, there are numerous crystal
structures of the Li+ ion with crown ethers. What do these indicate
to us about the chemistry of Li+ with crown ethers? In fact, most
of these crystal structures are in a sense misleading, in that the
Li+ ion forms no complexes, or at best very weak complexes, with
familiar crown ethers such as l2-crown-4, in any known solvent.
Thus, without the stability constants, our understanding of the
chemistry of a metal ion with any particular ligand must be
regarded as incomplete. In this book we attempt to show how
stability constants can reveal factors in ligand design which could
not readily be deduced from any other physical technique.
