Which of the following chemical specie(s) act as ambidentate ligand.
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
A, B, C, D
Solution:
C₂S₂O₂²⁻ (Dithiooxalate): This is a bidentate ligand (chelating) rather than ambidentate, as it typically binds through two atoms simultaneously. However, in some contexts of advanced coordination chemistry, it is listed if it can swap donor sets.
NO₂⁻ (Nitrito): Ambidentate; it can bind via the Nitrogen atom () or the Oxygen atom ().
CN⁻ (Cyanide): Ambidentate; it can bind via the Carbon atom () or the Nitrogen atom ().
SCN⁻ (Thiocyanate): Ambidentate; it can bind via the Sulfur atom () or the Nitrogen atom ().
