The 29 pages that link to Ligand, each with the reason it gives.

• Coordination complexNarrower topic: Ligands are the surrounding species bound to the complex’s central atom.

• ChelationNarrower topic: Chelating molecules are ligands with multiple atoms able to coordinate the same metal.

• CyanideNarrower topic: Cyanide’s bonding to metals is understood through its role as a ligand.

• Coordination geometryNarrower topic: Ligands occupy the positions arranged around the central atom.

• Octahedral molecular geometryNarrower topic: The six surrounding groups in many octahedral complexes are ligands.

• 18-electron ruleNarrower topic: Ligand donor electrons add to the metal’s count and determine whether the rule is met.

• Metal carbonylNarrower topic: CO acts as a ligand by donating a lone pair to the metal.

• Square planar molecular geometryNarrower topic: Ligand identity and bonding strength influence whether a four-coordinate complex becomes square planar.

• Potassium ferricyanideNarrower topic: Each cyanide ion acts as a ligand around the iron center.

• Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acidNarrower topic: EDTA acts as a ligand by donating electron pairs from its nitrogen and oxygen atoms.

• PhosphineNarrower topic: Phosphines coordinate through their lone pair and serve as tunable metal-binding ligands.

• FerricyanideNarrower topic: Cyanide acts as the donor ligand coordinating iron in ferricyanide.

• Potassium manganateNarrower topic: The four oxygen atoms coordinate manganese in the manganate ion.
