Greek prefixes are used to designate the number of each type of ligand in the complex ion, e.g. di-, tri- and tetra-. If the ligand already contains a Greek prefix (e.g. ethylenediamine) or if it is polydentate ligands (ie. can attach at more than one binding site) the prefixes bis-, tris-, tetrakis-, pentakis-, are used instead.

It is for indication the number of atoms or ions.

Tip : do not consider prefixes when naming the coordination compound alphabetically, but still include the prefixes in the name.
