Naming coordination compounds

[annemarielawrence]

When naming coordination compounds, how do we know when to end the ion's name with -ide or an o? Like for Chloride in [CO(NH3)5Cl]?

[Lily Dabrowski 2G]

Anions within the coordination sphere/brackets get the o at the end. If it's outside the brackets, it's just the anion name.

[Kavya Anand 2B]

The rules for naming elements like chlorine differs depending on whether an atom is in the coordination sphere or not. For example, for chlorine inside the coordination sphere, the ine- is replaced with o- and outside, the -ine is replaced with -ide.

You look at where the element is in relation to the brackets. In brackets=remove ending and add O, out of brackets=remove ending add -ide
