Coordinate covalent bond

In coordination chemistry, a coordinate covalent bond,[1] also known as a dative bond,[2] dipolar bond,[1] or coordinate bond[3] is a kind of two-center, two-electron covalent bond in which the two electrons derive from the same atom. The bonding of metal ions to ligands involves this kind of interaction.[4] This type of interaction is central to Lewis acid–base theory.

Coordinate bonds are commonly found in coordination compounds.[5]
