Metallate or metalate is the name given to any complex anion containing a metal Ligand to two or more and/or groups of atoms.
Typically, the metal is one of the transition elements and the ligand is oxygen or another chalcogenide, a cyanide group or a halogen (though others are known).
The chalcogenide metallates are known as , , and ; the cyanide metallates are known as ; the halogenide metalates are known as halogenometallates.
Oxometallates include permanganate , Chromate ion , vanadate or and tungstate .
Thiometallates include tetrathiovanadate , tetrathiomolybdate , tetrathiotungstate and similar ions.
Cyanometallates include ferricyanide , ferrocyanide and dicyanoargentate(I) .
Halogenometallates include tetrachloroaluminate , tetrachloronickelate(II) and hexafluoroplatinate(V) .
Others include tetranitratoaluminate and tetrahydroxozincate .
Metallate is also used as a verb by bioinorganic chemistry to describe the act of adding metal atoms or ions to a site (synthetic ligand or protein).
