In coordination chemistry, a bridging ligand is a ligand that connects two or more atoms, usually metal ions. The ligand may be atomic or polyatomic....

solids are polymers by virtue of the presence of multiple bridging ligands. Bridging ligands, capable of coordinating multiple metal ions, have been attracting...

some bridging ligands, an alternative bridging mode is observed, e.g. κ1,κ1, like in (Me3SiCH2)3V(μ-N2-κ1(N),κ1(N′))V(CH2SiMe3)3 contains a bridging dinitrogen...

refers exclusively to ligands where the coordinating atoms are contiguous. In these cases the η ('eta') notation is used. Bridging ligands use the μ ('mu')...

oxidant. Common bridging ligands include the halides and the pseudohalides such as hydroxide and thiocyanate. More complex bridging ligands are also well...

transitory bridged intermediate is the reduction of [CoCl(NH3)5]2+ by [Cr(H2O)6]2+. In this case, the chloride ligand is the bridging ligand that covalently...

ligand, forming complexes with a metal ion in which either the nitrogen or oxygen atom may be the electron-pair donor. It can also act as a bridging ligand...

electron pair—into a three-center two-electron bond. These are called bridging ligands. Coordination complexes have been known since the beginning of modern...

involved bidentate chelating ligands attached to the iron atoms in the Fe–N–N–Fe core, in which N2 acts as a bridging ligand between two iron atoms. Increasing...

ligand. Formally O2–, an oxo ligand can be bound to one or more metal centers, i.e. it can exist as a terminal or (most commonly) as bridging ligands...

4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine bridging ligands and a dichromium complex with amidinate bridging ligands. Synthesis of quintuple bonds is usually...

results are the same if the nitrosyl ligand were considered NO+ or NO−. Nitric oxide can also serve as a bridging ligand. In the compound [Mn3(η5C5H5)3 (μ2-NO)3...

bridging ligand to two metal cations (μ, bis-η2) or to just one (η2). The fifth and unique method involves triple-coordination as a bridging ligand,...

In biochemistry and pharmacology, a ligand is a substance that forms a complex with a biomolecule to serve a biological purpose. The etymology stems from...

binds to the metal, especially for those salts with fewer than six aquo ligands. The heptahydrates, which are often the most common salts, crystallize...

energy that can be absorbed or released during a chemical reaction Bridging ligand, an atom that connects two or more metal centers in a complex (molecule)...

where L is a ligand. The hydroxide ion often serves as a bridging ligand, donating one pair of electrons to each of the atoms being bridged. As illustrated...

consists of a pair of tetrahedral Fe(III) centers that share a oxo bridging ligand. The salt can be prepared by treatment of tetraethylammonium tetrachloroferrate...

these reasons, phosphido is often a bridging ligand. The -PH2 ion or ligand is also called phosphanide or phosphido ligand. One can generate transition-metal...

Mo, or W. Triphos serves as a tridentate-bridging ligand in an icosahedral Au13 cluster. The phosphine bridges three chlorogold(I) groups to form the tripod...

containing an imido ligand. Imido ligands can be terminal or bridging ligands. The parent imido ligand has the formula NH, but most imido ligands have alkyl or...

A symmetric tripodal tetradentate ligand can form two isomers on a square pyramid, depending on whether the bridging donor is on the apex or the base of...

dissociation of the M-S bond. Unlike ethers, thioethers occasionally serve as bridging ligands. The complexes Nb2Cl6(SMe2)3 is one such example. It adopts a face-sharing...

a bridging ligand between two metals in some complex molecules. Molecules containing fluorine may also exhibit hydrogen bonding (a weaker bridging link...

a bridging ligand. Some examples have both bridging and terminal amido ligands. Bulky amide ligands have a lesser tendency to bridge. Amide ligands may...

charged metal carbonylates. The carbon monoxide ligand may be bound terminally to a single metal atom or bridging to two or more metal atoms. These complexes...
