The Shrinking World of Innocent Ligands: Conventionaland Non‐Conventional Redox‐Active Ligands
Abstract
This essay for EurJIC's cluster issue on cooperative and redox non‐innocent ligands introduces the reader to redox‐active ligands, which range from the small archetypical NO+/•/– and O 20/•–/2–systems via the classical 1,4‐dihetero‐1,3‐diene chelates (e.g. α‐diimine, dithiolene, or o‐quinone redox series) to π‐conjugated macrocycles. The increased attention paid recently to the redox activity of ligands in coordination chemistry has now prompted wider successful searches, resulting in the establishing of less‐conventional examples such as cyanide, carbon monoxide, thioethers, or acetylacetonate derivatives as non‐innocently behaving ligands. By considering situations with significantly covalent metal–ligand bonding, the cases of metal–oxo, metal–hydrido, and organometallic compounds will also be addressed, with a perspective on how pervasive non‐innocent ligand behavior is. The materials and reactivity potential of redox‐active ligands will be pointed out.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
