transmetres
Transmetres, also known as transmetalation, are chemical reactions in which a metal atom in a coordination complex is replaced by another metal atom. This process is significant in various fields, including chemistry, biology, and materials science. Transmetres can occur through several mechanisms, including ligand exchange, where a ligand in the complex is replaced by a new metal ion, and oxidative addition, where a metal-metal bond is formed followed by the dissociation of one metal atom.
In biological systems, transmetres play a crucial role in metal homeostasis, the regulation of metal ions within
Transmetres can be influenced by various factors, including the nature of the metal ions involved, the ligands
