Ligand abbreviations

The optically active organic ligands used in this chapter are broad ranging [6]. Some ligands 1-17 are listed in Figure 2.1, but for other abbreviated ligands the full names are described in the appropriate references. 

An abbreviation equilibrium quotient expression in the order products/reactants is included for each constant, and periods are used to separate distinct entities. Charges have been omitted as these can be determined from the charge of the metal ion and the abbreviated ligand formulas (such as HL) given after the name. Water has not been included in the equilibrium expressions since all of the values cited are for aqueous solutions. For example, ML2/M.L for Cu " and acetic acid would represent the... 

Abbreviations for Ligand Names. Except for certain hydrocarbon radicals, for ligand (L) and metal (M), and a few with H, all abbreviations are in lowercase letters and do not involve hyphens. In formulas, the ligand abbreviation is set off with parentheses. Some common abbrevia-... 

Using the ladder diagram in Figure 6.7, predict the result of adding 0.080 mol of Ca + to 0.060 mol of Mg(EDTA). EDTA is an abbreviation for the ligand ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. 

Some simple zirconium organometaUic compounds, such as tetramethylzirconium [6727-89-5] are known. In general, these compounds are very unstable. It appears that zirconium must be TT-bonded to at least one moderately large ligand, such as a cyclopentadienyl group, for the compound to be stable. The abbreviation Cp is used here for the cyclopentadienyl group and Cp for [0 (0112)5]. 

Chelates are often named merely as a complex, eg, cadmium complex with acetylacetone. A common practice ia the Hterature is to give the symbol of the central atom and an abbreviation for the ligand with or without an iadication of ionic charges, oxidation states, stmcture, or counterions, as ia the foUowiag Pb-EDTA, Cacit , Cu(en)2, Co(II)-(phen), [Cu(dipy)2]S04, [Ru(dipy)2(en)], and Na[Co(acac)2]. Ligand abbreviations are given ia Table 1. 

Some ligands have more than one atom with an unshared pair of electrons and hence can form more than one bond with a central metal atom. Ligands of this type are referred to as chelating agents the complexes formed are referred to as chelates (from the Greek chela, crab s claw). Two of the most common chelating agents are the oxalate anion (abbreviated ox) and the ethylenediamine molecule (abbreviated en), whose Lewis structures are... 

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors. Figure 3 Transcription of PPAR target genes. A schematic representation of the transcription of PPAR-regulated genes in the absence (a) and presence (b) of PPAR ligand. Abbreviations PPAR-RE, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-response element RNA Pol II, RNA polymerase II TATA-BP, TATA-binding protein. 

The element symbols within each formula are arranged according to a modified Hill system in which the order is metal(s), C, H and then any remaining symbols arranged alphabetically. Compounds containing two (or more) different metals appear twice (or more), being listed under each metal. Common ligand abbreviations which appear in the text have also been used in the index. These include acac (acetylacetone), bipy (2,2 -bipyridyl), diars [o-phenylenebis(dimethyl-arsine)], dien (diethylenetriamine), etc. 

The names of coordination compounds can become awesomely long because the identity and number of each type of ligand must be included. In most cases, chemists avoid the problem by using the chemical formula rather than the name itself. For instance, it is much easier to refer to [FeCl(H20)5]+ than to pen-taaquachloroiron(II) ion, its formal name. However, names are sometimes needed, and they can be constructed and interpreted, in simple cases at least, by using the rules set out in Toolbox 16.1. Table 16.4 gives the names of common ligands and their abbreviations, which are used in the formulas of complexes. 

Most of the tetradentate equatorial ligands have a complex structure and, since their systematic names are often cumbersome, abbreviations and... 

Figure 43-13. Several signal transduction pathways converge on CBP/p300. Ligands that associate with membrane or nuclear receptors eventually converge on CBP/p300. Several different signal transduction pathways are employed. EGF, epidermal growth factor GH, growth hormone PrI, prolactin TNF, tumor necrosis factor other abbreviations are expanded in the text.

In this isomer, three of the same ligands lie on an equatorial circle about the complex. Such a circle is called a meridian, and this isomer is the meridional isomer, abbreviated mer.
