Quadro-
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-009721
A prefix in inorganic cluster nomenclature showing that four atoms are bonded into a quadrangle, such as a square. It belongs to the set of geometry descriptors that includes triangulo for three atoms in a triangle and tetrahedro for four atoms in a tetrahedron. It is not a multiplying prefix, unlike the tetra- in a tetradentate ligand name.
