The directed movement of transition metal ions into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A transition metal is an element whose atom has an incomplete d-subshell of extranuclear electrons, or which gives rise to a cation or cations with an incomplete d-subshell. Transition metals often have more than one valency state. Biologically relevant transition metals include vanadium, manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum and silver. The directed movement of inorganic cations with a valency of two or three into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Inorganic cations are atoms or small molecules with a positive charge which do not contain carbon in covalent linkage. The directed movement of iron (Fe) ions into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of iron chelates into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. An iron chelate is a heterocyclic compound having a metal ion attached by coordinate bonds to at least two nonmetal ions. The directed movement of iron-siderophores into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Iron-siderophores are low molecular weight Fe(III)-chelating substances in the iron-bound form.
