The IUPAC name of K _ 3 [ Co ( C _ 2 O _ 4 ) _ 3 ] is:

The IUPAC name of K3[Co(C2O4)3]{K}_{3} [ Co ( {C}_{2}{O}_{4}{)}_{3} ] is:

Options

  1. APotassium tris(oxalato)cobaltate(III)\left(III\right)
  2. BPotassium tris(oxalato)cobalt(III)( III )
  3. CPotassium trioxalatocobalt(III)( III )
  4. DPotassium trioxalatocobaltate(III)\left(III\right)

Correct answer

D. Potassium trioxalatocobaltate(III)\left(III\right)

Step-by-step solution

Ligands that include a numerical prefix in the name use the prefixes bis for 22, tris for 33, or tetrakis for 44 to indicate their number.

If the complex ion is an anion, we drop the ending of the metal name and add –ate.

In the given coordination compound, CoCo is the cobalt metal, C2O42−{C}_{2}{O}_{4}^{2 -} are the ligands named as oxalato.

The charge on [Co(C2O4)3][ Co ( {C}_{2}{O}_{4}{)}_{3} ] is −3- 3 and oxalate is having charge of −2- 2.

X+3(−2)=−3X=+3X + 3 ( - 2 ) = - 3X = + 3

Hence, the IUPAC name of the compound K3[Co(C2O4)3]{K}_{3} [ Co ( {C}_{2}{O}_{4}{)}_{3} ] is Potassium trioxalatocobaltate(III)( III ).
