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.
