Question

what is the iupac name of coordination compound k[PtCl3(C2H4)]​

Answer 1

Answer:

Zeise's salt, potassium trichloro(ethene)platinate, is the chemical compound with the formula K[PtCl3(C2H4)]·H2O

Answer 2

The IUPAC name of coordination compound k[PtCl3(C2H4)] is potassium trichloro(ethene)platinate.

• k[PtCl3(C2H4)] is also known as Zeise's salt and is an orange to yellowish coloured solid.
• In this complex oxidation state of platinum is +2 and it is a square planar and diamagnetic complex.
• k+[PtCl3(C2H4)]- has potassium as a cation.
• In IUPAC nomenclature, if cation outside the coordination sphere is written first and if the complex is anionic then the name of metal ends with ate like platinate. so, the name of the complex is potassium trichloro(ethene)platinate.
• Similarly, the IUPAC name of [Co(NH3)6]Cl2 is hexaamminecobalt(II) chloride.
