Dear student 
Tetradentate ligands are ligands that bind with four donor atoms to a central atom to form a coordination complex. This number of donor atoms that bind is called denticity and is a way to classify ligands. Tetradentate ligands are common in nature in the form of chlorophyll which has a core ligand called chlorin, and heme with a core ligand called porphyrin.
