Practicing Success
The IUPAC name for the complex, [Co(NH3)2Cl(ONO)(Py)2] NO3 is: |
Diamminechlorido dipyridinenitrito–N– cobaltate (III) nitrate Diammine chloridonitrito–O–bipyridine cobalt (III) nitrate Diamminechloridonitrito–O–dipyridine cobalt (III) nitrate Chloridodiamminenitrito–O– bis (pyridine) cobalt (III) nitrate |
Diamminechloridonitrito–O–dipyridine cobalt (III) nitrate |
The correct answer is option 3. Diamminechloridonitrito–O–dipyridine cobalt (III) nitrate. The IUPAC name for the complex, \([Co(NH_3)_2Cl(ONO)(Py)_2] NO_3\) is Diamminechloridonitrito–O–dipyridine cobalt(III) nitrate. The name is broken down as follows:
The complete name is therefore: (3) Diamminechloridonitrito–O–dipyridine cobalt(III) nitrate. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the structure of the complex or the oxidation state of cobalt. |
