Abstract
A new concept in solution chemistry, electronicity, has been derived and developed. Electronicity describes quantitatively the ability of a ligand to complex a metal ion which, in turn, allows the prediction of the formation constants of metal ion complexes. The principle of electronicity quantifies onto one scale the earlier concepts of hard and soft acids and bases.
