In coordination chemistry, a coordinate covalent bond, [1] also known as a dative bond, [2] dipolar bond, [1] or coordinate bond [3] is a kind of two-center, two-electron covalent bond in which the two electrons derive from the same atom. The bonding of metal ions to ligands involves this kind of interaction. [4]
A linear tetradentate ligand has the four donor atoms in a line and each subsequent donor is connected by one of three bridges. Such a ligand bound to a metal in tetrahedral coordination can only connect in one way, though if the ligand is unsymmetrical then there are two chiral arrangements.
However, these ligands also form dative covalent bonds like the L-type. [2] This type of ligand is not usually used because in certain situations it can be written in terms of L and X. For example, if a Z ligand is accompanied by an L type, it can be written as X 2. Examples of these ligands are Lewis acids, such as BR 3. [3]
Structure of one part of one stack of the charge-transfer complex between pyrene and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene. [1]In chemistry, charge-transfer (CT) complex, or electron donor-acceptor complex, describes a type of supramolecular assembly of two or more molecules or ions.
Cu(CF 3) 4 − square planar structure. The first example of an inverted ligand field was demonstrated in paper form 1995 by James Snyder. [5] In this theoretical paper, Snyder proposed that the [Cu(CF 3) 4] − complexes reported by Naumann et al. and assigned a formal oxidation state of 3+ at the copper [6] would be better thought of as Cu(I).
Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.
Unlike in the case of POF 3, the Schomaker-Stevenson rule predicts appropriate bond length for the P–O bond only if the P–O bond is treated as a double bond, P=O. [ citation needed ] More modern treatments explain the tight P–O bond as a combination of lone pair transfer from the phosphorus to the oxygen atom and a dative π back-bond ...
Formal charges in ozone and the nitrate anion. In chemistry, a formal charge (F.C. or q*), in the covalent view of chemical bonding, is the hypothetical charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds are shared equally between atoms, regardless of relative electronegativity.
