ITC is a powerful tool to study metal–ligand interactions.
Complex speciation occurs when metal ions are in solution. This speciation can be avoided or mathematically accounted for.
Mathematical deconvolution of ITC data is a straight-forward process if all coupled equilibria are known.
Solution competition (K and ΔH) can and should be determined experimentally.
All thermodynamic state functions derived from ITC data should refer to identical reactions to be comparable.
