Many of the inorganic compounds in this collection are metal centres surrounded and stabilized by small molecules, these supporting molecules are called ligands. An array of such ligands around a center is termed a complex. The following is a list of the ligands found in this library of structures with links to example inorganic complexes: , 18-crown-6 , 221-crypt , 222-crypt , 4,4-bipyridine , acac , BH4 , binap , bipy , bissalicylaldehyde , bn , C2H4 , C6H6 , C6Me6 , C60 , C7H7 , CN , CO , cod , cot , Cp , CpMe5 , cycloheptatriene , diars , dien , dipamp , dmapy , dmpm , dppe , dppm , edta , en , fluorenyl , fod , H2 , H3 , heme , indenyl , Me , N2 , NCS , NH3 , NMe2 , NMe3 , NO3 , OH2 , OPPh3 , ox , PCy3 , PEt3 , phen , PMe3 , PPh3 , py , pyrazine , salenpy , SnCl3 , terpy , tmpyp ,
