Abstract
Factors that control the metal ion complementarity of ligand architectures are described. These include cavity size, metal ion topography, and donor g roup orientation. Attention focuses on the last factor with a detailed disc ussion of how molecular mechanics has been used to investigate the role of donor group orientation in polyamine and polyether ligands, (C) 2001 Elsevi er Science B.V, All rights reserved.
