Ethylenediamine ligand chelating to a metal with two bonds Cu 2+ complexes with nonchelating methylamine (left) and chelating ethylenediamine (right) ligands. The chelate effect is the greater affinity of chelating ligands for a metal ion than that of similar nonchelating (monodentate) ligands for the same metal.
Ligands that bind via more than one atom are often termed chelating. A ligand that binds through two sites is classified as bidentate, and three sites as tridentate. The "bite angle" refers to the angle between the two bonds of a bidentate chelate. Chelating ligands are commonly formed by linking donor groups via organic linkers.
For example, calculations suggest that Fe 2 (CO) 9 lacks an iron–iron bond by virtue of a 3-center 2-electron bond involving one of three bridging CO ligands. [ 5 ] Representations of two kinds of μ-bridging ligand interactions, 3-center, 4-electron bond (left) and 3-center, 2-electron bonding.
Three coordination modes for 2-aminocarboxylates and related ligands. Most commonly, amino acids coordinate to metal ions as N,O bidentate ligands, utilizing the amino group and the carboxylate. They are "L-X" ligands. A five-membered chelate ring is formed. The chelate ring is only slightly ruffled at the sp 3-hybridized carbon and nitrogen ...
An example of chelating nitrite is [Cu(bipy) 2 (O 2 N)]NO 3 – "bipy" is the bidentate ligand 2,2′-bipyridyl. This bonding mode is sometimes described as κ 2O,O-NO 2. Focusing on electron-counting in monometallic complexes, O-bonded, N-bonded are viewed as 1-electron pseudohalides ("X-ligand").

The complex involved bidentate chelating ligands attached to the iron atoms in the Fe–N–N–Fe core, in which N 2 acts as a bridging ligand between two iron atoms. Increasing the coordination number of iron by modifying the chelating ligands and adding another ligand per iron atom showed an increase in the strength of the N–N bond in the ...
Bitopic ligands target an orthosteric binding sites and allosteric binding sites on the same receptor. [13] In scientific research, bivalent ligands have been used to study receptor dimers and to investigate their properties. This class of ligands was pioneered by Philip S. Portoghese and coworkers while studying the opioid receptor system.
