ligandoissa
Ligandoissa is a Finnish-language term used in coordination chemistry to refer to ligands—the species that bind to a central metal atom or ion to form a coordination complex. A ligand can be an ion, a neutral molecule, or a metal fragment; it donates electron pairs to the metal, creating a coordinate covalent bond. The metal together with its bound ligands constitutes the coordination complex, and the ligands influence properties such as reactivity, geometry, and solubility.
Ligands are described by denticity, the number of donor atoms that bind to the metal. Monodentate ligands
Ligandoissa, in Finnish usage, appears in discussions of how ligands influence the properties of metal centers,
