Ionic bonding is the bonding that involves a transfer of electrons.
It inhibits a protein complex called cytochrome c oxidase in the Electron Transport Chain on the mitochondrial inner membrane. This protein complex is responsible for transferring 4 electrons to one oxygen molecule and convert it into two water molecules. The Electron Transport Chain serves to maintain redox balance and establish a proton electrochemical gradient which drives the synthesis of ATP, the cell's energy currency.
