monodentate ligand

Monodentate ligands are also referred to as terminal because they do not offer a place for the network to continue.

Water is typically a monodentate ligand, it forms only one bond with the central atom.

They tend to be more stable than complexes derived from monodentate ligands.

The 2,3-diphenylthiazolidin-4-one behaves as a monodentate ligand and coordinates to the tin through the oxygen atom.

Monodentate ligands include virtually all anions and all simple Lewis bases.

Only monodentate ligands are required.

L.GaH (1:1 complex with monodentate ligand giving 4 coordinate gallium)

Pyridine, a common monodentate ligand in coordination chemistry, abbreviated as 'py'

Extremely bulky monodentate ligands stabilize this compound by shielding the quintuple bond from further reactions.

Complexation with monodentate ligands is generally weak because it is difficult to displace water molecules from the first coordination sphere.

Chelate complexes are contrasted with coordination complexes composed of monodentate ligands, which form only one bond with the central atom.

Diphenyl-2-pyridylphosphine behaves as a P-bound monodentate ligand, or a P,N-bound bidentate ligand.

The coordination of the platinum atom is trigonal bipyramidal, with the acetylene considered a monodentate ligand, and the two trimethylarsine ligands occupying the equatorial plane.

This means that less entropy of disorder is lost when the chelate complex is formed than when the complex with monodentate ligands is formed.

In dimethylsulfoxide substitution at nickel(II) proceeds in a similar way for all monodentate ligands but whether the mechanism is Id or D cannot be ascertained.

Also complexes of the LMgMgL with monodentate ligands have been prepared and in these the coordination of the Mg atom increases from three to four.

For monodentate ligand systems the monophosphine palladium (0) species is believed to form the palladium (II) species which is in equilibrium with the μ-halogen dimer.

Multiple occurring monodentate ligands receive a prefix according to the number of occurrences: di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, or hexa.

Notably, these monodentate ligands can be used in combination with each other to achieve a synergistic improvement in enantioselectivity; something that is not possible with the diphosphine ligands.

Infrared spectra suggest that the XSO3− group acts as a monodentate ligand in the Se compounds and as a tridentate ligand in the Te compounds.

Chelating ligands bind to metals more strongly than related monodentate ligands, and macrocyclic ligands bind more strongly than typical chelating ligands.

Upon reduction, one of the carboxylate ligands undergoes a "1,2 carboxylate" shift from behind a terminal monodentate ligand to a bridging ligand for the two irons, with the second oxygen coordinated to Fe 2.

Thus, the phenomenon of the chelate effect is a firmly established empirical fact: under comparable conditions, the concentration of a chelate complex will be higher than the concentration of an analogous complex with monodentate ligands.

As GaH cannot be prepared or isolated readily reactions involving GaH either use the dimer, GaH, digallane(6) or adducts of GaH for example L.GaH where L is a monodentate ligand.
