Preferred Label : formation constant;
IUPAC definition : For a mononuclear binary complex, if a central atom (central group) M (the 'metal')
and a ligand L have been defined, then in the following expressions Kn is the stepwise
formation constant, and β n is the cumulative formation constant for the complex ML
sub i n /i /sub . They can both be referred to as stability constants (stepwise
and cumulative). \[K_{n} K({ML}_{n- 1} {L}\rightleftharpoons {ML}_{n})\] \[\beta_{n}
K({M} n{L}\rightleftharpoons {ML}_{n})\];
