Re: Naming coordination compound
When a molecule has en in it, for example, [CoCl2(en)2]+ what does it mean exactly? Does this also have an effect on the charge of the compound?

Re: Naming coordination compound
I am also confused on how (en) influences the naming. Can anyone give an example?

When you are dealing with a molecule that is NOT a ligand and is an ANION and outside of the brackets then you add the suffix -ide because it does not follow the ligand rules.
For an anionic (negative charge) metal (inside the bracket), you add the suffix -ate.
