Correct answer: A
-
Write the complex clearly
The compound is:
This contains:
- Complex cation:
- Counter anion:
-
Identify the ligands inside the coordination sphere
Inside the bracket, the ligands are:
- molecules of = ammine
- ligand = chlorido
- ligand = methylamine, IUPAC ligand name = methanamine
-
Find the oxidation state of Pt
Let oxidation state of Pt be .
In the complex:
- is neutral
- is neutral
- is
- Overall charge on complex ion is
So,
Hence, the metal is platinum(II).
-
Arrange ligand names in alphabetical order
Ligands are named alphabetically, ignoring multiplicative prefixes like di-, tri-, etc.
Ligand names:
- ammine
- chlorido
- methanamine
Alphabetical order:
- ammine
- chlorido
- methanamine
Since there are two ammine ligands, it becomes diammine.
-
Name the cation and then the anion
So the complex cation is named:
Since there is one chloride ion outside the coordination sphere, the full name becomes:
-
Check options
- A: Diamminechlorido (methanamine) platinum(II)chloride. ✅ Correct in substance.
- B: Biasmmine (methanamine)chlorido platinum(II)chloride. ❌ Wrong prefix/spelling/order.
- C: Diamminechlorido (amminomethane) platinum(II) chloride. ❌ Wrong ligand name.
- D: Diammine (methanamine) chlorido platinum(II)Chloride. ❌ Ligand order incorrect.
-
Final answer
The correct IUPAC name is:
Hence, Option A is correct.
