L is a flexible neutral ligand with two donor ends D and D′. The square-planar substitution schemes show assigned product connectivities after displacement of X. A dashed curve is L's covalent backbone; straight lines to Pd are donor bonds. Which conclusion is correct?

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

In I both donor ends bind adjacent sites of one Pd. In II the ends of one L terminate at different Pd atoms: it bridges them, contributing one donor bond at each. Total donor count and denticity at one centre are different.
