Ate complex
text:
In chemistry, an ate complex is a salt formed by the reaction of a Lewis acid with a Lewis base whereby the central atom increases its valence and gains a negative formal charge.. Often in chemical nomenclature the term ate is suffixed to the element in question. For example, the ate complex of a boron compound is called a borate. Thus trimethylborane and methyllithium react to form the ate compound Li+B(CH3)−4, lithium tetramethylborate(1-). This concept was introduced by Georg Wittig in 1958.
