(redox) non-innocent ligand is a ligand in a metal complex where the oxidation state is not clear. Typically, complexes containing non-innocent ligands are...

non-innocent ligands, the ligand is bonded to metals via conventional bonds, but the ligand is also redox-active. In the following table the ligands are...

fashion, forming pincer complexes. Diiminopyridines are notable as non-innocent ligand that can assume more than one oxidation state. Complexes of DIPs...

conformation. The extremities of the two ligands are slightly distorted outwards. The complex features a non-innocent ligand, in the sense that the macrocycles...

metal ions that can exchange their oxidation state with their ligands (see non-innocent ligand). One of the first instances was a cobalt bis(quinone) complex...

"dithiolene", i.e. a chelating alkene-1,2-dithiolate. It is a prototypical non-innocent ligand in coordination chemistry. Several complexes are known, such as Ni(mnt)2]2−...

sulfur atoms are equivalent in this square-shaped molecule. when a non-innocent ligand is present, of hidden or unexpected redox properties that could otherwise...

glyoxal. 2,2'-Bipyridine is a 1,2-diimine. 1,2-Diketimines are “non-innocent ligands”, akin to the dithiolenes. For example, acetylacetone (2,4-pentanedione)...

basic ligand). The ligand can also be redox non-innocent to facilitate reactions that the metal would otherwise be unable to activate. The ligand can act...
