With hydrophobic ligands

The rate of metal complex formation is often modified (usually enhanced) by the presence of a charged interface in the aqueous phase. This may be provided by ionic micelles, e. g., SDS, microemulsions or polyelectrolytes. jjjg reactions of Ni + and Co with hydrophobic ligands pan, pap and pad 14-16 are popular ones for examining effects, since they are well characterized in the bulk water. The simple model (4.126)... 

By attaching hydrophobic moieties with postmodification method or generating MOFs with hydrophobic ligands, one can obtain MOFs with more hydrophobicity. Yang et al. synthesized some fluorinated metal-organic frameworks (FMOFs) in which hydrogen atoms were substituted with fluorine atoms in all ligands. These fluorinated MOFs had enhanced thermal stability... 

The same relationships between free metal ions and total metal concentrations hold as above. Equation (4) may include the concentration of hydrophobic ligands. However, the occurrence of hydrophobic complexes is particularly relevant to the interactions with membranes. 

Hydrophobic Proteins and peptides differ from one another in their hydrophobic properties. Salt solutions are used to mediate the binding of molecules to a hydrophobic matrix substituted with a hydrophobic ligand.
