demonstrated that chelating thiolates can support an oligomeric array in which the metal atoms, although possessing essentially the same immediate coordination geometry, are rendered inequivalent by the chelate arrangement. This consideration should not be ignored in any interpretation of the spectroscopic in-equivalence30 of the metal centers of the metallothioneins and related proteins.Acknowledgment. We thank S.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
