  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009196",
  "term": "Polymer-metal complex",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A macromolecular entity formed by the coordination of metal ions or metal complexes with a polymer chain. The polymer acts as a ligand, binding to the metal centers through specific functional groups. These complexes often exhibit unique catalytic, electronic, or optical properties and are used in catalysis and materials science.",
