In the covalent bond classification method, κ 1-carbonate is anX ligand and κ 2-carbonate is an X 2 ligand. With two metals, the number of bonding modes increases because carbonate often serves as a bridging ligand. It can span metal-metal bonds as in [Ru 2 (CO 3) 4 Cl 2] 5-, where again it functions as an (X) 2 ligand.
Oxidation states are typically represented by integers which may be positive, zero, or negative. In some cases, the average oxidation state of an element is a fraction, such as 8 / 3 for iron in magnetite Fe 3 O 4 . The highest known oxidation state is reported to be +9, displayed by iridium in the tetroxoiridium(IX) cation (IrO + 4). [1]

Instead of simply assigning a charge (oxidation state) to an atom in the molecule, the covalent bond classification method analyzes the nature of the ligands surrounding the atom of interest. [2] According to this method, the interactions that allow for coordination of the ligand can be classified according to whether it donates two, one, or ...
Aluminium carbonate (Al 2 (CO 3) 3), is a carbonate of aluminium.It is not well characterized; one authority says that simple carbonates of aluminium are not known. [2] However related compounds are known, such as the basic sodium aluminium carbonate mineral dawsonite (NaAlCO 3 (OH) 2) and hydrated basic aluminium carbonate minerals scarbroite (Al 5 (CO 3)(OH) 13 •5(H 2 O)) and ...
The vast majority of compounds, including all aluminium-containing minerals and all commercially significant aluminium compounds, feature aluminium in the oxidation state 3+. The coordination number of such compounds varies, but generally Al 3+ is either six- or four-coordinate. Almost all compounds of aluminium(III) are colorless. [2]
[5] [6] This electron transfer strengthens the metal–ligand bond and weakens the C–C bonds within the ligand. [7] In the case of metal-alkenes and alkynes, the strengthening of the M–C 2 R 4 and M–C 2 R 2 bond is reflected in bending of the C–C–R angles which assume greater sp 3 and sp 2 character, respectively.
