Een paar voorbeelden:

The nitrilotriacetate ion, hereinafter referred to as NTA, is a versatile chelating ion and finds use as a complexing agent ...
http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?a23240

en in

http://www.metaalrestaurator.nl/pdf/Reinigen_met_EDTA_Afstud...

komt een Summary voor waarin gezegd wordt
'The theoretical backgrounds of sequestering agents and complexing agents are explained ...'

Dit is in de Nederlandse samenvatting als volgt vertaald:

'De achtergronden van liganden en complexvormers worden besproken ...'

In dezelfde link komt een tabel voor (Tabel 1, blz 12) waarin o.a. NTA en EDTA genoemd worden; de Tabel heeft als onderschrift 'Logaritmen van stabiliteitconstanten voor enkele liganden en complexvormers met metaalionen ...'

chelaatvormer, complexvormende stof

Explanation:
Nitrilo-triacetate is een "chelating agent":
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2225209/

Oftewel een "chelaatvormer" of "complexvormende stof".

Misschien dacht de auteur in het Nederlands of haalde dingen door elkaar bij het schrijven, want "complexion agent" komt bijna niet voor op het Internet, afgezien van het Belgische document waar de contextzin in staat.
