Hello guys,
I would like to know what the specific cirterias are in order to determine a chelate-complex from its formula.
One common thing is that they are large molecules with multiple C's involved (but why is it?; why do they have to be large?; why is Glycerin, for example, a chelate and [Al(OH)3(H2O)3] not, athough it got OH's involved as Glycerin?)
Furthermore: Can you determine the denticity of a chelate-complex by just looking at its formula? for example: C14H23N3O10 ...
