Ligands in Chemistry

This dataset contains information about various chemical ligands, including their structural formulas, types, and characteristics related to their dentate coordination, charge, metal center, and ligand classification. Each entry provides essential details that are useful for understanding the coordination chemistry of these ligands.

• Name: The common name of the ligand.
• Formula: The molecular formula representing the ligand's chemical composition.
• Type: The dentate type of ligand, indicating how many coordination sites it can occupy (e.g., monodentate, bidentate, hexadentate).
• Dentate: The number of donor atoms that can coordinate to a metal center.
• Charge: The overall charge of the ligand, which can affect its interactions in coordination complexes.
• Metal Center: Describes the possible metal(s) with which the ligand can coordinate, generally indicated as "Various."
• Ligand Class: The classification of the ligand based on its chemical structure or functional groups (e.g., Aqua, Amine, Carboxylate, Halide).
