Abstract
The properties of labile metal–ligand equilibria can be calculated readily by using the concept of a ligand function, analogous to the proton function of acid–base behavior. Use of the ligand function allows one to have a computer perform the tedious iterations, thereby bypassing the traditional trial-and-error method of solving equilibrium problems. The method is also applicable to mixed-ligand complexes.
