Text Solution

The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of polydentate ligands from the given list (en, C2O4^(2-), acac, DMG, and phen), we need to analyze each ligand and identify how many donor atoms they possess. A polydentate ligand is one that has multiple donor atoms, allowing it to bind to a metal ion at multiple points. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Ethylenediamine (en)**: - Ethylenediamine (en) has the structure: NH2-CH2-CH2-NH2. - It has two nitrogen atoms that can donate electrons to a metal ion. - **Conclusion**: en is a bidentate ligand (2 donor sites). 2. **Identify Oxalate Ion (C2O4^(2-))**: - The oxalate ion has the structure: O=C(COO^-)C(=O)O^-. - It has two carboxylate groups, each capable of donating one pair of electrons. - **Conclusion**: C2O4^(2-) is a bidentate ligand (2 donor sites). 3. **Identify Acetylacetone (acac)**: - Acetylacetone (acac) has the structure: CH3C(=O)CH2C(=O)CH3. - It can donate two pairs of electrons from the two carbonyl oxygen atoms. - **Conclusion**: acac is a bidentate ligand (2 donor sites). 4. **Identify Dimethylglyoxime (DMG)**: - Dimethylglyoxime (DMG) has the structure: CH3C(=O)C(=O)CH3 with two nitrogen atoms. - Each nitrogen can donate a pair of electrons, making it capable of binding at two points. - **Conclusion**: DMG is a bidentate ligand (2 donor sites). 5. **Identify Phenanthroline (phen)**: - Phenanthroline (phen) consists of three fused rings with two nitrogen atoms. - The two nitrogen atoms can donate electrons, allowing it to bind to a metal ion at two points. - **Conclusion**: phen is a bidentate ligand (2 donor sites). ### Final Count of Polydentate Ligands: - All the ligands listed (en, C2O4^(2-), acac, DMG, and phen) are bidentate ligands. - Since each ligand has more than one donor site, they are all considered polydentate ligands. **Total Number of Polydentate Ligands = 5**
