1. chelatenoun

   a compound formed by combination of a metal ion in solution with a compound containing heteroatoms (such as oxygen or nitrogen), in which at least two heteroatoms are bound to the metal. The bonds may be covalent or non-covalent. Chelates in some cases have very low dissociation constants, and organic compounds (chelating agents) which form such chelates are therefore used to reduce the concentration of free metal ions in solution.

1. chelate

   Chelation is a type of bonding of ions and molecules to metal ions. It involves the formation or presence of two or more separate coordinate bonds between a polydentate (multiple bonded) ligand and a single central metal atom. These ligands are called chelants, chelators, chelating agents, or sequestering agents. They are usually organic compounds, but this is not a necessity, as in the case of zinc and its use as a maintenance therapy to prevent the absorption of copper in people with Wilson's disease.Chelation is useful in applications such as providing nutritional supplements, in chelation therapy to remove toxic metals from the body, as contrast agents in MRI scanning, in manufacturing using homogeneous catalysts, in chemical water treatment to assist in the removal of metals, and in fertilizers.

1. chelate

   A chelate is a type of chemical compound characterized by a central metal atom bonded to a large molecule, called a ligand, in a cyclic or ring structure. The ligand, usually an organic compound, has two or more atoms capable of donating a pair of electrons to the central atom. This formation is commonly found in many complexes in biological systems and has high stability. The term "chelate" comes from the Greek word "chela," which means "claw," referring to the pincer-like manner in which the ligand grips the central atom.
