Re: Adding "ate"
When the coordination compound has a negative charge. For example, [Co(Cl)6]3- has a -3 overall charge so its name is hexachloro cobaltate (iii)

Re: Adding "ate"
If the coordination compound has a negative charge, you would add -ate to the end of the metal name within the coordination sphere. Example: [Ni(CN)4]^2- has a negative charge; nickel is the metal, so the name would be Tetracyano nickelate(II)

Re: Adding "ate"
Another good pointer to remember is that when you have a coordination complex anion and you use the "-ate" suffix, the Latin root of the element must be used. For example, -ironate would be incorrect because we are told to use the Latin root of elements.
Another example of this would be: -cuprate for copper, not copperate

Re: Adding "ate"
Add an -ate to the end of the metal when the overall coordination compound is an anion, meaning it is negatively charged. For example, [Ni(CN)4]^2- is named tetracyanonickelate (II).

Re: Adding "ate"
If the coordination compound is an anion (has an overall negative charge), then you add ate to the end on the name of the metal, ie nickel --> nickelate.

Re: Adding "ate"
-ate is added after the transition metal when the coordination compound (everything inside the brackets) has a negative charge.

The -ate suffix is added to the cation in the coordination compound if it has an overall negative charge.

Re: Adding "ate"
You would add the suffix "ate" to the name of the metal atom if the coordination compound has an overall negative charge.

Hi,
You add “ate” to the end of the metal in the coordination sphere when the coordination sphere has a overall negative charge.

Re: Adding "ate"
Hello,
"-ate" is added when the complex itself has a negative charge. This works for both when you have a full compound and just the complex.

Re: Adding "ate"
It is added when a complex has an overall negative charge and you will attach it to the transition metal. I also read that the -ate ending indicates a high oxidation state which makes sense based on how we are supposed to write it
Re: Adding "ate"
hi, the suffix -ate is usually added to the transition-metal name if the coordination compound has an overall negative charge

Re: Adding "ate"
You would add "ate" only if the overall charge of the coordination combination is negative.

Re: Adding "ate"
I believe you would add the "ate" to the name of the central metal atom of the complex ion if the complex ion has an overall negative charge or in other words, your complex ion is an anion.
