Abstract
In this chapter we show the general forms of multistep equilibria and their similarity for polyprotic acid—base and for polyligand metal ion—ligand equilibria. We consider only mononuclear cases, meaning that one central species accepts protons or ligands, as the case may be. Rarer polynuclear examples are H2F2 and Ag2I+.
