denticitythe
Denticitythe is a proposed descriptor in coordination chemistry intended to capture how the denticity of a ligand can vary across binding modes and chemical conditions. It is not an established standard and appears mainly in theoretical discussions and niche publications.
Definition and concept: Denticitythe, dt, is defined as the weighted average of the denticity values d_k of
Interpretation and examples: dt reflects binding versatility. For example, a ligand that equilibrates between monodentate (d
Measurement and challenges: Determining dt requires quantitative insight into mode populations, drawn from spectroscopy, crystallography, kinetic
Status and see also: As of the mid-2020s, denticitythe is not widely used in mainstream literature. See
