An ancillary ligand is a ligand on a chemical complex that is not directly involved in the chemistry. Ancillary ligands are often there to help stabilize a complex or contribute steric or electronic effects. Thus, activity of a complex can be tuned by adjusting the ancillary ligands, even though they are not directly a part of the chemistry that is occurring. The ligands that are involved in the chemistry are called functional ligands.
