Question

Provide names for the following complexes:

a) K[Cr(ox)₂(OH₂)₂]
b) Co(NH₃)₅Br₂
c) [Cr(en)₂Cl₂]PF₆
d) [Co(bpy)₂(OH)Cl]ClO₄
e) [TiCl₃(OH₂)₃]
f) K₃[Fe(CN)₆]
g) Na[Au(bpy)(CN)₂]

Answer 1

The IUPAC names for the listed complexes include the central metal’s oxidation state and use correct naming conventions for ligands and anions, resulting in names like Potassium bis(oxalato)dihydroxochromate(III) and Pentaamminebromidocobalt(III) bromide.

Step-by-step explanation:

The names for the following complexes are:

• K[Cr(ox)2(OH2)2]: Potassium bis(oxalato)dihydroxochromate(III)
• Co(NH3)5Br2: Pentaamminebromidocobalt(III) bromide
• [Cr(en)2Cl2]PF6: Dichloridobis(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) hexafluorophosphate
• [Co(bpy)2(OH)Cl]ClO4: Hydroxochloridobis(bipyridine)cobalt(III) perchlorate
• [TiCl3(OH2)3]: Trichloridotrihydroxotitanium(IV)
• K3[Fe(CN)6]: Potassium hexacyanoferrate(III)
• Na[Au(bpy)(CN)2]: Sodium bis(cyanido)(2,2'-bipyridine)gold(I)
