Ligand Order

[EricZhao3G]

When writing the molecule formula for the coordination compound, should the neutral or negative ligand go first? Here, Dr. Lavelle says to put the anionic ligand first but I think what is conventional has changed since then but I'm not sure: viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1409

If the overall charge is negative, put the ion in front of the [] brackets
If the overall charge is positive, put the ion after the [] brackets

[Arianna Perea 3H]

Why is dichloro first in dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)platinum (IV) chloride?

[Rodrigo2J]

I'm pretty sure Dr. Lavelle said to simply name the complex in alphabetical order.

[Matthew Chan 1B]

Do we arrange on the basis of the element's letters or the names of element/compounds?

[erica thompson 4I]

In lecture Lavelle said that the order is: "(Greek prefix)" + "ligand names in alphabetical order" + "transition metal cation name" + "Roman numeral"

If there are anions, it goes: "anion name" + "(Greek prefix)" + "hydrate"
