DefinitionsLewis Acid = acceptor = usually a transition metal cation
Lewis Base = donor = ligand = usually something with a lone electron pair
Coordination number = # of metal-ligand attachments
Denticity = # of attachments a ligand makes
Common LigandsMonodentate Ligands:
Halides: F-, Cl-, Br-, I-
O2-, S2-, OH-, CN-
NH3, H2O, CO
Bidentate Ligands: Polydentate Ligands:
heme, salen
