The correct IUPAC name of [PtBr2(PMe3)2][\mathrm{PtBr}_2(\mathrm{PMe}_3)_2][PtBr2​(PMe3​)2​] is :
  1. A
    bis(trimethylphosphine)dibromoplatinum(II)
  2. B
    dibromodi(trimethylphosphine)platinum(II)
  3. C
    dibromobis(trimethylphosphine)platinum(II)
  4. D
    bis[bromo(trimethylphosphine)]platinum(II)

Correct answer: C

  1. Identify the ligands and oxidation state

    The complex is [PtBr2(PMe3)2][\mathrm{PtBr}_2(\mathrm{PMe}_3)_2][PtBr2​(PMe3​)2​]

    • Br−\mathrm{Br}^-Br− is the ligand bromo.
    • PMe3\mathrm{PMe}_3PMe3​ is the neutral ligand trimethylphosphine.
    • Since the complex is neutral: x+2(−1)+2(0)=0x + 2(-1) + 2(0) = 0x+2(−1)+2(0)=0 x−2=0⇒x=+2x - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = +2x−2=0⇒x=+2 So the metal is platinum(II).
  2. Count identical ligands

    • Two bromo ligands ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ dibromo
    • Two trimethylphosphine ligands ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ bis(trimethylphosphine) or di(trimethylphosphine)?

    For ligands whose names already contain a prefix or are more complex names, IUPAC uses bis, tris, etc. Since trimethylphosphine is a substituted ligand name, we use: bis(trimethylphosphine)\text{bis(trimethylphosphine)}bis(trimethylphosphine)

  3. Arrange ligand names alphabetically

    Ligands are listed alphabetically ignoring multiplicative prefixes.

    • bromo
    • trimethylphosphine

    Since bbb comes before ttt, the order is: dibromo bis(trimethylphosphine)\text{dibromo bis(trimethylphosphine)}dibromo bis(trimethylphosphine)

  4. Write the full name

    Therefore, the correct IUPAC name is: dibromobis(trimethylphosphine)platinum(II)\boxed{\text{dibromobis(trimethylphosphine)platinum(II)}}dibromobis(trimethylphosphine)platinum(II)​

  5. Check options

    • A: bis(trimethylphosphine)dibromoplatinum(II)
      Incorrect: ligands are not in alphabetical order.

    • B: dibromodi(trimethylphosphine)platinum(II)
      Incorrect: for trimethylphosphine, bis should be used instead of di.

    • C: dibromobis(trimethylphosphine)platinum(II)
      Correct.

    • D: bis[bromo(trimethylphosphine)]platinum(II)
      Incorrect: this suggests a different grouping of ligands.

Hence, the correct option is C.
