The selectivity-complex formation function (81) describes the variation of the selectivity coefficient of the transition metal ion versus a non complex forming reference cation with increasing ligand concentration as... 

Since one or more of the interactions in these systems might originate from the stationary phase, only a two- or a one-point interaction between the solute and the selector is necessary for mechanisms (2) and (3) to occur [50]. However, some of the CMPAs used in HPLC [37,40,51,52] have also been used as chiral selectors in CE [53-56], which indicates that at least one of the separation mechanisms between the selector and enantiomers is selective complex formation in the mobile phase in these cases, since there is no stationary phase present in CE. A recent example by Yuan et al. [57] is presented in Eigure 17.1. The authors introduced the use of (R)-A,A,A-trimethyl-2-aminobutanol-bis(trifluoromethane-sulfon)imidate as the chiral selector for enantioseparation in HPLC, CE, and GC. This chiral liquid serves simultaneously as a chiral selector and a co-solvent. 

Selection of appropriate polymer components allows a selective complex formation to be realized. 

Chelate ion exchangers are based on the selective complex formation between a metal ion and a chelating ligand anchored onto the resin s polymeric structure. 

Furthermore, pharmacokinetic administration, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) factors affect drug bioavailability, efficacy and safety, and, thus, are a vital consideration in the selection process of oral drug candidates in development pipelines. Since solubility, permeability, and the fraction of dose absorbed are fundamental BCS parameters that affect ADME, these BCS parameters should prove useful in drug discovery and development. In particular, the classification can used to make the development process more efficient.For example, in the case of a drug placed in BCS Class II where dissolution is the rate-limiting step to absorption, formulation principles such as polymorph selection, salt selection, complex formation, and particle size reduction (i.e., nanoparticles) could be applied earlier in development to improve bioavailability. 

Golub and Andreichenko [62GOL/AND] also measured at 293 K the solubility of Cd(SeCN)2(cr) in pure water. The solubility reported is 0.248 M, but from the calculations provided in the paper it should obviously read 0.0248 M. This value is accepted and combined with the selected complex formation model to yield a solubility product for the reaction ... 

Isomer enrichment in 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3,2,l]octane compounds has been achieved by selective complex formation with... 

There are also many uses for nonenzymatic polymeric catalysts. For instance, polymer-bound crown ethers, cryptates, and channel compounds behave as polymeric phase-transfer catalysts. The catalytic activity is based on selective complex formation. An example is the use of polystyrene-attached oxygen heterocycles [18]-crown-6 or a cryptand[222] to catalyze replacements of bromine in n-octyl bromide by an iodine or by a cyanide groups... 

An intramolecular channel exists with SAMs formed by aggregation of a cyclodextrine derivate, the per-6-thio- -cyclodextrine at a gold electrode (D Aimibale et al. 1999). Ferrocenylcarboxylate or hydroquinone are used as electrochemicaUy active markers. Their signal decreases if certain neutral molecules like trimethylcetylammonium are present in the sample solution. The strongly selective complex formation with cones of cyclodextrines somehow clogs the internal channels.
