In the manufacture of ceramics, these compounds are used in the Pechini process together with a polyhydroxy alcohol.
In the manufacture of ceramics, these compounds are used in the Pechini process together with a polyhydroxy alcohol. They are used as eluants in the ion-exchange band displacement method of rare earth separation. Their namesake effect relates the their increasing (*) stability to the larger number of ring closures, and examples of agents that form them include EDTA, a polydentate ligand. For 10 points―  name these coordination compounds consisting of central metal atoms enclosed in a cyclic structure.
