Pronunciation varies by accent · adjective
(chemistry) Of a ligand, capable of forming eight separate chemical bonds to a coordinating metal ion.
Recently, the invention of synthetic routes to very large π-conjugated macrocycles has sparked a renaissance in this field, driven by the quest to understand energy transfer, charge delocalization, and nonlinear optical phenomena in these nanostructures.[ 2 – 15 ] Template-directed synthesis makes it possible to create large, fully π-conjugated macrocycles in a size-range that could not have been reached without programmed self-assembly.[ 7, 9, 10 ] The classical template effect translates information from the size and shape of a template to direct the construction of a complementary macrocycle.[ 16 ] We have used this approach to prepare nanorings consisting of 6 and 8 porphyrin units, using hexadentate and octadentate templates.[ 9a – c ] This classical approach is not convenient for the synthesis of larger nanorings because of the inaccessibility of suitable templates.
Use octadentate when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
Octadentate means (chemistry) Of a ligand, capable of forming eight separate chemical bonds to a coordinating metal ion.
The closest synonym depends on the sentence and intended sense.
The opposite depends on the specific sense.
