Transition elements contain ions that present in aqueous solution as complex ions. A metal ion with a molecule called a ligand are called complex ion and it attached through coordinate covalent bonds. A complex salt is an ionic compound but it differs in the fact that there are these covalent …

Introduction: Over the past three decades we have witnessed a tremendous amount of activity in the area of biosensors. Biosensors are small devices employing biochemical molecular recognition properties as the basis for a selective analysis. The major processes involved in any biosensor system are analyte recognition, signal transduction, and readout. …
