Question
Explain ambidentate ligand with example.
✓
Answer
⇒ Ligands that can attach themselves to the central metal atom through two different atoms are called ambidentate ligands.
⇒ Examples of such ligands are the NO-2 and SCN- ions. NO-2 ion can coordinate either through nitrogen or through oxygen to a central metal atom/ion.
⇒ Similarly, SCN- ion can coordinate through the sulphur or nitrogen atom.
