Applications of Coordination Compounds

There are three applications of coordination compounds:

  1. Zinc-complex enzymes like carbonic anhydrase important to buffering reactions in blood. 
  2. Copper-complex enzymes important to iron storage and producing pigments in hair, skin, and eyes. 
  3. Nickel-complex enzymes as part of the enzymes urease and hydrogenase
