Passage / Comprehension
Species which donate electron pair to central atom are called ligands and number of electron pair donated by ligand is called denticity.
Ligands which contains more than one type of donor atoms are called ambidentate ligands.
Find the total number of ligands which are bidentate?
pn , EDTA⁴⁻, gly⁻¹, nta³⁻, ox²⁻, acac⁻¹, dien, bipy
Answer:
5.00
Solution:
The bidentate ligands are pn (propane-1,2-diamine), EDTA⁴⁻ (ethylenediaminetetraacetate, can be hexadentate but has bidentate binding sites), ox²⁻ (oxalate), acac⁻¹ (acetylacetonate), and bipy (2,2'-bipyridine). Therefore, there are 5 bidentate ligands.
