Spanish term or phrase: formación de complejos

se trata de un programa de estudio de la materia Química Analitica.
Cuando menciona los temas dice lo siguiente:
Equilibrio de formación de complejos; efecto del pH en la formacion de complejos; estudio analitico y representacion grafica.
Cómo puedo traducir "formación de complejos"? En un primer intento lo traduje como "complex formation",pero en ese caso "complejo" esta utilizado como adjetivo y no como sustantivo. Alguna sugerencia? Muchas gracias

English translation:complex formation

Explanation:
As you say yourself it looks like 'complex' is being used as an adjective and to a non-chemist it would certainly appear like that; however a chemist reading your TT would know that is a noun-noun situation because 'complex formation' is a standard term in chemistry that discusses reaction intermediates. Hope this helps....
