Line 8: [[File:Me-EN.svg\|thumb\|[[Ethylenediamine]] [[ligand]] chelating to a metal with two bonds]] [[Image:Cu chelate.svg\|thumb\|Cu<sup>2+</sup> [[Coordination complex\|complexes]] with nonchelating [[methylamine]] (left) ''and'' chelating [[ethylenediamine]] (right) ligands]] The chelate effect is the greater affinity of chelating ligands for a metal ion than that of similar nonchelating (monodentate) ligands for the same metal. for example, in super foods, the ligand is a phytonutrient which gets attached to the metal ion. it is very beneficial for health. The thermodynamic principles underpinning the chelate effect are illustrated by the contrasting affinities of [[copper]](II) for [[ethylenediamine]] (en) vs. [[methylamine]].
