Write the IUPAC names of the complex [Co(NH₃)₅(CO₃)]Cl. What type of isomerism is shown by this complex?

OR

Using IUPAC norms write the formulae for the following coordination compounds:

(i) Tetrachloridocuperate(ii)

(ii) Potassium tetrahydroxozincate(ii)

Coordinate complex is positive in the given case as it is written first in the formula. As the carbonate ligand itself has -2 charge on it and ammonia ligand has zero charge, the net charge on Co is +3. Ammine ligand comes first before carbonato according to alphabetical order. Thus the complex is named as:

Pentaaminecarbonatocobalt(iii)chloride

OR

(i) Tetrachloridocuperate (ii)

Cu is the central element with +02 oxidation state and as there are 4 chloride ions the complex has -2 charge as a whole. Thus according to the IUPAC the structure is given as:

(ii) Potassium tetrahydroxozincate (ii)

The central element is Zn which has an oxidation state +2 igven by the number in the bracket. The 4 hydroxo groups are OH^- ions and the complex in total has -2 negative charge.

Thus the structure is:
