Metal ammine complex
Coordination complex with at least one ammonia ligand
In coordination chemistry, metal ammine complexes are metal complexes containing at least one ammonia (NH3) ligand. Ammonia binds to almost all metal ions as a ligand, but the most prevalent examples of ammine complexes are for Cr(III), Co(III), Ni(II), Cu(II) as well as several platinum group metals.
From Wikipedia
In coordination chemistry, metal ammine complexes are metal complexes containing at least one ammonia (NH3) ligand. Ammonia binds to almost all metal ions as a ligand, but the most prevalent examples of ammine complexes are for Cr(III), Co(III), Ni(II), Cu(II) as well as several platinum group metals. Ammine is spelled this way for historical reasons; in contrast, alkyl- or aryl-bearing ligands are spelled with a single m. Some ammine complexes have non-standard names that use amine with a single m instead of ammine with two m in their standard names (see examples).
