Among the given options, which ligand acts as an unsymmetrical bidentate ligand? — Coordination Compounds Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

A symmetrical bidentate ligand has two identical donor atoms (e.g., 'en' has two N atoms, 'ox' has two O atoms). An unsymmetrical bidentate ligand has two different donor atoms. The glycinato ligand ($gly^-$) coordinates through one Nitrogen atom (from the amine group) and one Oxygen atom (from the carboxylate group), making it unsymmetrical.
