CHELATE RINGS II
• Metal complexes containing chelate rings in their structure are called metal chelates. 
• For the formation of stable metal chelate complexes the chelate rings should normally be either five-  or six membered.
• A few other size chelate rings (both smaller and larger) have also been prepared.
