Identify  the tetradentate ligand from the following


A) Triethylene tetramine

B) Ethylene diamine tetracetato

C) Dimethyl glyoximato

D) Oxalato

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

 Triethylene  tetramine  is a tetradentate ligand  with the formula  $[CH_{2}NHCH_{2}CH_{2}NH_{2}]_{2}$. This bind with four donor atoms to a central atom to form a coordination complex. This number of donor atoms that bind is called denticity and is a way to classify ligands.
