Abstract
The ability of coordination-unsaturated lipophilic metallocomplexes to bind and transport chloride anions through bilayer lipid membranes, which are usually used as a model of biological membranes, has been theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed. It is suggested that a similar transport mechanism can occur in processes of passive and active transport in biological membranes.
