Question

IUPAC name of [Co(NH3)4(H2O)Cl]Cl2

Answer 1

Answer : The IUPAC name of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)Cl]Cl_2]$ is, Tetraammineaquachlorocobalte(III)dichloride

Explanation :

Rules for naming the coordination complex :

• First name the ligands in alphabetical order then name the metal ion.

• Use the prefixes as 'mono' for '1', 'di' for '2', 'tri' for '3' and so on.

• Write the oxidation state of metal ion with the name of metal.

• Name the anion which is neutralizing the charge on coordination sphere.

As per given coordination complex,

The name of metal Co is Cobalt.

The name of  ligands $NH_3,H_2O,Cl$ are ammine, aqua, chloro respectively.

The oxidation number of Co is (+3). So, use the roman numeral i.e, (III)

Therefore, the IUPAC name of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)Cl]Cl_2]$ is, Tetraammineaquachlorocobalte(III)dichloride

Answer 2

Answer:

Tetraammineaquachlorocobalte(III)dichloride
