2. Complex stability and complexation kinetics
In the remainder of this article, we will refer to the complexed species as M and the ligand as L. The activity of M will be noted [M] and that of L will be noted [L]. As usual, these activities can be equated with concentrations, provided the solutions are sufficiently dilute. In the remainder of this article, for simplicity's sake, we'll assume that this is always the case.
2.1 Complexation equilibria and equilibrium constants
Like many other reactions, the formation and dissociation of complexes obey the laws of equilibrium found at
