An example of an actor ligand is ethylenediamine in the coordination of metal ions, as it directly binds to the metal center and influences the reactivity of the complex. In contrast, an example of a spectator ligand is water in the coordination sphere of a metal complex, as it does not directly participate in the reactivity of the complex but is present as a stabilizing ligand.
generally a bidentate, dianionic ligand
yes , it is a flexidentate ligand its denticity can be one or two
One example is that a 'grandstand' is usually the main spectator stand at a racecourse.
A backbonding ligand is a ligand - an ion, molecule or functional group bound to another chemical entity - which has two or more bonds to the same metal centre.
ligand that binds to it. For example, a receptor can trigger different signaling pathways or cellular responses if it binds to different ligands, even if they bind to the same binding site on the receptor. This is known as ligand-dependent receptor activation.
