tridentaattiligandit
Tridentate ligands are a class of chemical compounds that can bind to a central metal atom through three donor atoms. This three-point attachment is referred to as tridentate coordination. The term "tridentate" itself derives from the Latin "tri" meaning three and "dens" meaning tooth, highlighting the three points of attachment. These ligands play a crucial role in coordination chemistry, influencing the geometry, stability, and reactivity of metal complexes.
Common examples of tridentate ligands include ethylenediamine-N,N,N'-triacetic acid (EDTA), which is a hexadentate ligand but can
The formation of chelate rings, where the ligand forms a ring structure with the metal, is a
