The lability of a complex species between a metal ion M and a binding site S, MS, is conventionally defined with respect to an ongoing process at a reactive interface, for example, the conversion or accumulation of the free metal ion MhTa sensor. In the case of soft charged multisite narthparticalate complexei, the chemodynamic features that are operative within the micro environment of the particle, body generally differ substantially from those for dissolved similar single-site complexes in the same mediurri. Here we develop a conceptual framework for the chemodynamics and the ensuing lability of soft (3D) nanoparticulate metal complexes. The approach considers the dynamic features of MS at the intraparticulate level and their impact on the overall reactivity of free metal foils at the surface of a macroscopic sensing interface. Chemodynamics at the intraparticulate level is shown to involve a local reaction layer at the particle/.medium interface, while at the macroscopic sensor level an operational reactiomlayer is inyoked. Under a certain window of conditions, volume exclusion of the nanoparticle body near the medium/sensor interface is substantial and affects the properties of the reaction layer and the overall lability Of the nanoparticulate MS1complex toward the reactive surface.
