multidentate

Example:Like multidentate, polydentate ligands can form stable complexes with metal ions.

Definition:Having the ability to bind at more than one site; especially used to describe ligands in coordination chemistry.

Example:A bidentate ligand often binds to a metal ion by two of its atoms.

Definition:A specific type of multidentate ligand that can bind at two points, commonly used in transition metal complexes.
