Abstract
Among the triatomic ligands (incl. neutral molecules such as H2O, SO2, and CO2) the anions: NO2¯, N3¯, NCO¯, NCS¯, NCSe¯, and NCTe¯ are well-known as “ambidentate” ligands. These anions have two or three donor atoms and can coordinate with a metal atom at one or the other position. Furthermore, they can serve not only as unidentate ligands but also as bridging ligands, connecting two or more metal atoms in various ways. This chapter focusses on the thiocyanate anion; the various coordination modes will be shown.
