Resumen de Drawing Mononuclear Octahedral Coordination Compounds Containing Tridentate Chelating Ligands

Aminou Mohamadou, Karen Ple, Arnaud Haudrechy

• Complexes with tridentate ligands of the type [M(A-B-C)2], where A ≠ B ≠ C and with an imposed bonding sequence A−B−C, require special attention to draw all possible stereoisomers. Depending on the nature of the central donor atom B of the tridentate ligand, an easy drawing method is presented that shows seven chiral enantiomer pairs and one achiral stereoisomer are obtained.
