Note that the ligand CO preceded the Cl ligand because single letter symbols preceded two letter symbols. (7) If more than one type of ligand is present, the symbols are given in alphabetical order, eg, if Cl - and NH 3 both occur as ligands in the same coordination compound, then, because C occurs before N in the alphabet, so we write + (6) If more than one type of ligand is present, the ligands are named in alphabetical order (disregard any multiplicative prefixes when determining that order),Įg, Cl 2 is penta amine chloridocobalt(2+) chloride. If the oxidation state is zero, then an arabic 0 is placed in parentheses. (5) If the metal has a negative oxidation state, then a minus sign is written to the left of the Roman numeral indicating its oxidation state, eg, Fe(-II) For complex ligand names, the prefixes bis, tris, tetrakis etc are used with enclosing marks around the multiplicand in order to aviod ambiguity. (4) This is true for the names of simple ligands. Note the change of name when water is a ligand from the previous "aquo" to the new "aqua". (3) The names of cationic ligands are also used without modification, even if the name ends in "ide", "ate" or "ite". Note the changes: final "e" is removed and replaced by "o", chloride becomes chlorido and sulfate becomes sulfato.Īlso note that hydride becomes hydrido when coordinating to all elements EXCEPT boron.Ĭoordinated cyanide is also named cyanido. (2) Previously, anionic ligands were named by removal of "ide" and replacement by "o", for example chloride became chloro, and, removal of "ate" and replacement with "o" for example sulfate became sulfo. There are other, arguably better, systematic IUPAC ways to name a complex ion, for example, you could name the complex ion as an ion (see Naming cations and Naming Anions) in which case you enclose the charge on the ion in round brackets after the additive name (no need to try to determine the oxidation state of the metal and hence removes the problem of electron distribution). ![]() This form of additive nomenclature has been in use for a very long time, but it has problems, notably it may not accurately reflect the distribution of electrons within the complex ion. In this tutorial we will name the complex ion using the oxidation state for the central metal atom. Naming of these coordination compounds was therefore based on an additive principle whereby the names of added compounds and the central atom were combined. (1) Historically, coordination compounds were considered to be formed by adding independently stable compounds to a simple central atom or ion. Writing the (Line) Formula of a Complex:įootnotes: reference "Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry: IUPAC Recommendations 2005" (Red Book).Ligands are named before the central metal atom.The name of an anionic complex ion ends in ' ate',.The name of a cationic complex ion ends in the name of the central metal ion with the oxidation state shown as a Roman numeral in parantheses at the end of the metal's name, eg, iron(III).The numbers of ligands in a complex are specified using the Greek prefixes: (4).Neutral ligands are named as the molecule without modification, with these notable exceptions: (3).⚛ anion ending in 'ite' → 'it o', eg, sulfite → sulfit o ⚛ anion ending in 'ate' → 'at o', eg, sulfate → sulfat o ⚛ 'halide' → 'halid o', eg, chloride → chlorid o Anionic ligands have names ending in ' o'.Then you could add 8 electrons in total and leave the $d_$, but there is still something usually. Let's imagine the right case with a square plane and a strong ligand so you start filling orbitals with two electrons before continuing to fill the next higher level or orbitals. You can see this quite beautifully demonstrated here: On the other hand if you lower the $z$-part in energy due to lever principle you will have to increase the energy of other orbitals as well. All $d$-orbitals with a $z$-component are lowered in energy so they become occupied by electrons and, due to repulsion with the ligand's electrons, ligands will not come from the $z$-axis anymore. And this is also what happens in a real square planar complex. If you did this till it breaks, you end up with the square base of an octahedron. You can simply imagine the $z$-axis for example of the octahedron to be elongated. For copper(II) you end up with a $d^9$-system, a $d^8$ system might be able to do a real square plane but that one electron in a $d^9$ would cost too much energy if it was in a true square plane. Well it's not really square planar, it's just a streched octahedron. ![]()
