Answer: The IUPAC name of the given compound is:

Ammonium tetraisothiocyanatocobaltate(II)

Explanation:

To write down the IUPAC name of the compound (NH_{4})_{2}[Co(NCS)_{4}], the oxidation state on metal atom Co is calculated as:

The oxidation state of Co is assumed as x.

Charge on NH_{4}^{+} is +1 and charge on NCS^{-} is -1 and as the overall compound is neutral; therefore net charge will be 0.

(+1)*2+x+ (-1) * 4= 0

+2 + x + (-4) = 0

-2 + x = 0

x = +2

As the complex is anionic, firstly the counter ion NH_{4}^{+} name is written, after that ligand NCS^{-} and after that metal atom with suffix -ate.

The IUPAC name of the compound is:

Ammonium tetraisothiocyanatocobaltate(II)
