Transition Metal Perchlorate Complexes
class=skin-invert, 300px, Titanium(IV) perchlorate is a transition metal perchlorate complex. Transition metal perchlorate complexes are coordination complexes with one or more perchlorate ligand In coordination chemistry, a ligand is an ion or molecule with a functional group that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex. The bonding with the metal generally involves formal donation of one or more of the ligand's el ...s. Perchlorate can bind to metals through one, two, three, or all four oxygen atoms. Usually however, perchlorate is a counterion, not a ligand. Homoleptic complexes Homoleptic complexes, i.e. complexes where all the ligands are the same (in this case perchlorate), are of fundamental interest because of their simple stoichiometries. Several anhydrous metal diperchlorate complexes are known but most are not molecular (and hence, not complexes). For example, many compounds with the formula are coordination polymers (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, C ...
