CHELATE Meaning and Definition

1. Chelate is a chemical term that describes the formation of a complex, often involving a metal ion, with a ligand or a group of ligands. In a chelation process, a ligand coordinates to a central metal ion by forming multiple bonds, typically through electron pair donation from its atoms or functional groups. This bonding interaction results in the formation of a stable ring-like structure known as a chelate ring.

   Chelates are widely used in various fields of chemistry and biology. In biology, chelation is crucial for maintaining the proper functioning of biological systems. For instance, metal ions are often chelated by proteins or other organic molecules to prevent their accumulation and potential toxicity. In medicine, chelation therapy is utilized to remove toxic metals from the body by administering chelating agents that can selectively bind to these metals, enabling their excretion.

   In chemistry, chelation plays a fundamental role in the synthesis and stabilization of metal complexes. Chelates allow for the controlled coordination of metal ions, leading to increased stability and often altered reactivity compared to their unchelated counterparts. This property is valuable in various applications such as catalysis, material science, and drug development.

   Overall, chelation refers to the process of forming a stable complex, typically involving a metal ion and a ligand, through the coordination of multiple bonds. This phenomenon is essential in biological systems, as well as in various areas of chemistry, due to its ability to influence the structure, stability, and properties of complexes.

Etymology of CHELATE

The word "chelate" is derived from the Greek word "chele" (χηλή), meaning "claw" or "crab's claw". The term "chelate" was initially used in chemistry to describe the way certain chemical compounds form a complex with metal ions by binding to them with two or more atoms in a claw-like manner. The term was first introduced in the early 20th century by Sir Gilbert T. Morgan, a British chemist.
