Monodentate ligands have one atom that can bind to a central atom or ion. Water (H2O) and ammonia (NH3) are examples of neutral monodentate ligands. A polydentate ligand has more than one donor site. Bidentate ligands have two donor sites. Tridentate ligands have three binding sites. 1,4,7-triazaheptane (diethylenetriamine) is an example of a tridentate ligand. Tetradentate ligands have four binding atoms. A complex with a polydentate ligand is called a chelate. An ambidentate ligand is a monodentate ligand that can bind in two possible places. For example, The thiocyanate ion, SCN-, can bind to the central metal at either the sulfur or the nitrogen. 1  Article. 2  Article. 3  Article. 4  Article. 5  Article. 6  Article. 7  Article. 8  Article.
