Which of the following is not an ambidentate ligand?

Which of the following is not an ambidentate ligand?Which of the following is not an ambidentate ligand?Which of the following is not an ambidentate ligand?

Options

  1. AC2O42−\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4^{2-}
  2. BSCN−\mathrm{SCN}^{-}
  3. CNO2−\mathrm{NO}_2^{-}
  4. DCN−\mathrm{CN}^{-}

Correct answer

A. C2O42−\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4^{2-}

Step-by-step solution

Ambidentate ligands are those ligands which have two different donor atoms and either of two donor atom is attached to the metal during complex formation. (1) COO−→M\mathrm{COO}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{M} has only one donor site through ' O '. So, it is not ambidentate. (2) SCN→M\mathrm{SCN} \rightarrow \mathrm{M} NCS→M\mathrm{NCS} \rightarrow \mathrm{M} (Ambidentate) Which of the following is not an ambidentate ligand?
