"ferrate"

[Nina Fukui 2J]

Is it just supposed to be known that Fe or Iron is spelled out as ferrate in coordination compounds or is there a condition for it??

[Arnav Saud 2C]

I'm pretty sure its ferrate only for coordination compounds.

[SophiaBarden 2E]

Lavelle said we should be able to recognize the ligand names and nomenclature. Iron involve in coordination compounds are always Ferrate, but in normal compounds, they are normally just iron.

I believe ferrate is only used when the coordination compound has an overall negative charge; otherwise you can just use iron. I also didn't know about this until I did the textbook problems so I'm not sure if this will show up on the exam. And from what I know, there are a few other similar exceptions I'm not really sure of.

Ferrate is used in coordination compounds when the overall charge is negative. For example, [Fe(CN)6]^4- has a negative charge of 4 and therefore will be written as an hexacyanidoferrate (II) ion. [Fe(NCS)(OHz)5]^2+ is positively charged and is written as an pentaaquathiocyanatoiron (III) ion. Basically, positive and neutral compounds have the metal atom written as itself and negative compounds have the metal atom written with an -ate at the end.

Hi! Ferrate is only used when everything in the square brackets has a negative charge, in which normally you would just add an "-ate" to the end; however, for iron, the name is "ferrate" rather than "ironate."

[Michelle Magana 2B]

"Ferrate" is used if the iron in the coordination compound has an overall negative charge, hope this helps!

[Justin Zhang_1A]

Ferrate would only be used in a coordination compound with iron if the overall compound has a negative charge.

[Chudi Onyedika 3A]

It is the name for iron if its compound has a negative charge.

[Jacob Kirkosian 3C]

Ferrate is used when the coordination compound contains iron and when the compound is an anion. These conditions make the naming of the coordination compound in Latin and with the “-ate” suffix.

[Elizabeth Kim 2K]

Hi! "Ferrate" would be used when a coordination compound containing iron is an anion. Hope this helps!

[Mason_Hoppe_1A]

If ferrate is merely an exception to the rule of adding -ate to the end of the element name when writing anions (i.e. ferrate as opposed to ironate), are there other important exceptions like this one that we will need to know?

[Emily Widjaja 3A]

Only add "ate" if the transition metal complex has an overall negative charge. so if a transition metal complex involving iron is neutral or positive, it would just be iron (oxidation state), not ferrate
