ligandvolatile
Ligandvolatile is a term used in coordination chemistry and catalysis to describe ligands that readily volatilize from metal centers under modest heating, reduced pressure, or during gas-phase processing. The concept is used to describe ligands that can be removed without breaking the metal framework or requiring harsh reagents, enabling clean ligand exchange, purification, or vapor-phase deposition.
Typical ligands considered volatile include simple neutral molecules with significant vapor pressure at or near ambient
Applications encompass synthesis and purification of metal complexes via sublimation or distillation, and the preparation of
Assessment of such ligands relies on techniques like thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and
