The Tolman cone angle describes the space that one of these objects occupies, and those with unclear oxidation states are referred to as non-innocent ones.
The Tolman cone angle describes the space that one of these objects occupies, and those with unclear oxidation states are referred to as non-innocent ones. Sometimes divided into inner-sphere and outer-sphere varieties, those that bind to each other across the long axis of a compound are referred to as trans-spanning ones. Hapticity is often required to describe their binding, and decrease in the parameter B due to the binding of these compounds is known as the nephelauxetic effect.  The spectrochemical series arranges them ? in terms of their ability to split energy between two sets of d-orbitals; this is described by a modification of crystal field theory named for these compounds. For 10 points, name these compounds with can be mono- or polydentate, a term used to describe the groups bound around a central metal atom in a coordination compound.
