abstract = "N-alkylation of amine ligands decreases the stability constants of their metal ion complexes, stabilizes low valent complexes, increases the acidity of the central cation and turns it into a harder acid. The major source of these effects is the decrease in the outer sphere solvation energy induced by the N-alkylation.",

note = "Funding Information: I am indebted to my many colleagues whose work is cited in this manuscript, without their hard work it could not have been written. I wish to thank The Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung for a research prize which enabled my stay at the University of Erlangen-Nurnberg, during which this manuscript was written. This study was supported in part by grants from The Israel Science Foundation administered by The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities and by grants from the Budgeting and Planning Committee of The Council of Higher Education and the Israel Atomic Energy Commission. I wish also to thank Mrs Irene Evens for her ongoing interest and support. ",
