What are ambientate ligands
  • 2 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years ago

A ligand is an ion or molecule, which donates a pair of electrons to the central metal atom or ion to form a coordination complex. Ambidentate ligand is a type of ligands which have the ability to bind to the central atom via the atoms of two different elements.

Examples: thiocyanate ion(NCS) which can bind to the central metal atom or ion with either nitrogen or sulfur atoms.

If a ligand has more than 1donating site like in CN the bond can be formed from either C or N atom .so is the ambientate ligand.
