Abstract
The coordination chemistry of nonmacrocyclic ligands containing only N, C, and H atoms is surveyed. Such ligands include ammonia and linear polyamines as well as heterocyclic N-compounds and catenated N-systems. Among the topics discussed are N-ligand synthesis, metal–N bond formation, reactions of coordinated N-donor ligands, and the utilization of metal–N complexes. Structural and theoretical aspects include the consideration of metal–N stability constants, hard-acid soft-base concepts, inorganic reaction mechanisms, molecular mechanics, chelate ring stereochemistry, chirality, and supramolecular chemistry.
