What specific compounds/ligands do we need to know for the final?

[KNguyen_1I]

I know from lectures and the course outline we need to know about cisplatin, EDTA which is hexadentate, and porphyrin which is bidentate and involved in the heme complex, and what else?

[Anne Tsai 1F]

Professor Lavelle posted this pdf on his website with all of the ligands and their names on his website: https://lavelle.chem.ucla.edu/wp-conten ... pounds.pdf

[Cooper Baddley 1F]

Know the chart he posted

Any tips on memorizing the table?

I believe porphyrin is tetradentate from what I remember during the review session!

[Anna Heckler 2C]

Yes, porphyrin is tetradentate! It forms a "ring" (chelating ligand) that gives blood its red color.

Is cisplatin a chelating ligand or is it a complex compound?

[Kaitlynn Tran 3F]

Is cisplatin a chelating ligand or is it a complex compound?

Cisplatin isn't a chelating ligand because there are no polydentate ligands in it
