Words to The Wise
When it comes to metals ligand are like brigands.
They reduce the activity of the metal is solution (which makes it more soluble.)
Chemicals are lazy. They like to have lower activity.
If their activity is high. Their reactivity is high and they tend to precipitate out of solution...
like students failing out of college.
Ligands also (in general) make metals less toxic.
So ligands are like robin hood. They are good brigands.

J-girl my dear,
ReplyDeleteJust caught up on your blog. If I could types easily on my iPhone I would go on for pages enthusing. You write brilliantly. And you photograph brilliantly. And your photo captions are inspired. And you make me laugh (even at my desk at work). And your brigand ligand is brilliant.
Lost in admiration,
Your fan,
