Polydentate ligands : Such ligands are capable of donating two or more lone pair e s to same central
metal atom/ion through co-ordinate bonds. While doing so they form 5/6 membered stable ring. Hence
such ligands are also called chelating ligands.

H3C — C N in this case formed complex

O - - H–O formation of additional
bis (dimethylglyoximato)nickel(II) stable rings through H-bonds.
Number of formed rings = 4
2 rings : 5 membered
2 rings : 6 membered
• Symmetrical ligands : Ligands having plane of symmetry (P.O.S.) w.r.t. donor sites and passing through
central metal atom/ion are called symmetrical ligands. e.g. ox , en , dipy , phen , acac.
• Unsymmetrical ligands : Ligands having no plane of symmetry (P.O.S.) w.r.t. donor sites and passing through
central metal atom/ion are called unsymmetrical ligands. e.g. DMG , gly , bcac , pn.
Note : No. of stable rings formed by a polydentate ligand = (denticity) – 1

Ambidentate Ligands :When negative ligands have at least two different donor sites, but at a time of coordination
one donor site is used are called ambidentate ligands with monodentate behaviour. However Ambidentate
ligands having sp2 or sp3 hybridized central atom, can also act as flexidentate ligands.
