A non-innocent ligand is a type of ligand used in coordination chemistry that is capable of participating in redox reactions, thereby altering its oxidation state during the coordination process with a metal center. Unlike innocent ligands, which remain in a stable oxidation state and do not directly participate in electron transfer processes, non-innocent ligands can interact with the central metal ion in ways that influence the electronic properties of the metal complex.
