Which of the following is not an ambidentate ligand?
Options
- AC ₂ O ₄²⁻
- BSCN ⁻
- CNO ₂⁻
- DCN ⁻
Correct answer
A. C ₂ O ₄²⁻
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 has only one donor site through ' O '. So, it is not ambidentate. (2) SCN M NCS M (Ambidentate)
