Some compounds that go through this process are known as siderophores (SID-uh-roh-for), and the strongest agent of this—found in E. coli—is enterobactin.

Wilson's disease can be treated by this process using dimercaprol (dai-mur-KAAP-rawl), once called British anti-Lewisite when it used this same process to prevent the effects of chemical warfare. One agent of this process, used to remove calcium carbonate from water, is EDTA, and porphyrins (por-"FEAR"-inz) such as heme (HEEM) use this process to transport iron. Though there is controversy about the use of this chemical process to remove impurities from healthy people, this technique is commonly used to remove poisons. Name this formation of bonds between two or more separate binding sites within the same ligand and a single central atom.
