Abstract: Method of reducing the arsenic concentration in an aqueous solution comprising undesired arsenic, which method comprises contacting the aqueous solution with a complex of Formula (I), (Formula (I)) wherein M1 and M2 are the same or different and are independently selected from V, Mn, Ga, Cu, Ni, Co, Fe or Zn; wherein a is 0, or 1, and b is 0, or 1, provided that a+b together must be at least 1; Q is a negatively charged counter ion; n is from 1 to 5; X1 is OH, O, SH or S; L1 is a group selected from —La1-C(O)NR—, —La2-C(O)OR—, —La3-NRC(O)—, La4-OC(O)—, La5-O— or La6-NRO—, wherein La1, La2, La3, La4, La5 and La6 are each C1-6 alkyl, optionally substituted, R is H or C1-6 alkyl optionally substituted; Linker is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain with from 1 to 10 repeating units, a C1-16 polyamine chain or a C1-16 alkyl chain; Z is a solid support; L2 to L7 are independently C1-3 alkyl, optionally substituted; and Het1 to Het4 are independently 5 to 14 membered heteroaryl group having at least one N atom and opt
