Abstract

Many different applications for coordination compounds can be found in human life, as they possess numerous interesting properties. Metal complexes consist of a central metal atom or ion known as a coordination center and binding molecules or ions in the surrounding environment called ligands. Metal ions have special qualities that can be used in medicinal inorganic chemistry to create novel medications. Drugs containing metals are useful in many medical applications, such as diagnosis and treatment. Here, we have covered the uses of metal complexes, particularly those involving enclosed metal ions, or cage metal complexes, in the biochemical and medical industries.
