Q

Nomenclature of Coordination Compounds: IUPAC Rules

A
  • The cation is named before the anion
  1. When naming a complex:
    Ligands are named first
    • alphabetical order
  2. Metal atom/ion is named last
    - oxidation state given in Roman numerals follows in parentheses
  3. Use no spaces in complex name
  4. The names of anionic ligands end with the suffix -o

-ide suffix changed to -o
-ite suffix changed to -ito
-ate suffix changed to -ato
