Question

What is denticity of oxo , per-oxo and super-oxo ligand?

Answer 1

• Oxide ion $O^{2-}$is oxo ion.
• Peroxide ion $O_2^{2-}$is per oxo.
• Superoxide ion $O_2^{-}$ is super-oxo.
• All have denticity = 1
• For example, $K_2\left[Cr{\left(CN\right)}_2{\left(O\right)}_2\left(O_2\right)\left(N{H}_3\right)\right]$
