Abstract

The results of many years of basic research that have led to the creation of a new generation of biologically active substances, atranes, are generalized in this article. Atranes are intracomplex compounds of triethanolamine, namely, metal atranes (primarily silatranes) and protatranes, which have substantially enriched important spheres of human activity, such as medicine and agriculture.
