Polydentate Ligands

Total number ...

Question

Total number of ligands which can act as bidentate / polydentate ligands with same donor atoms/sites.
DMG, en, Phen, Gly, acac, $S O_{4}^{2 -},$ pyridine, $P P h_{3}$

Open in App

Solution

Dimethylglyoxime (DMG), Ethylene diamine (en), Phenanthroline (phen) , Acetylacetonato ion (acac), $S O_{4}^{2 -}$ are bidendate ligands as they all contain two donor sites as can be seen from their structures.
The two donor atoms of glycine are $N$ and $O$
pyridine, $P P h_{3}$ are unidendate ligands as they contain only one donor site.
