The Characterization of Metal Acetate Salts (Zinc and Copper) with 2-(methylthio)-N-(3-pyridinylmethyl) acetamide (3-HLSMe) and 2-(methylthio)-N-(4-pyridinylmethyl) acetamide (4-HLSMe)... A coordination polymer is a compound consisting of a ligand acting as a bridge between a central metal ion. Therefore, a link could be created between transition metals through the use of ligands. However, this is only possible if the ligand is polydentate, meaning that it would bind to one central transition metal atom in one place and to another transition metal atom in another.
