Amino acids can act as ligands toward transition metal ions. The simplest amino acid is glycine (NH2CH2CO2H).

Question:

Amino acids can act as ligands toward transition metal ions. The simplest amino acid is glycine (NH2CH2CO2H). Draw a structure of the glycinate anion (NH2CH2CO2-), acting as a bidentate ligand. Draw the structural isomers of the square planar complex Cu(NH2CH2CO2)2.
