What do we mean by chelate?

Having chelae or resembling a chela. adjective

A chemical compound in the form of a heterocyclic ring, containing a metal ion attached by coordinate bonds to at least two nonmetal ions. noun

To combine (a metal ion) with a chemical compound to form a ring. transitive verb

To remove (a heavy metal, such as lead or mercury) from the bloodstream by means of a chelate, such as EDTA. transitive verb

Having a chela; terminated by a chela or forceps-joint.

Same as cheliferous. adjective

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. noun
