Correct answer: C
-
Identify the ligands and oxidation state
The complex is
- is the ligand bromo.
- is the neutral ligand trimethylphosphine.
- Since the complex is neutral: So the metal is platinum(II).
-
Count identical ligands
- Two bromo ligands dibromo
- Two trimethylphosphine ligands 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:
-
Arrange ligand names alphabetically
Ligands are listed alphabetically ignoring multiplicative prefixes.
- bromo
- trimethylphosphine
Since comes before , the order is:
-
Write the full name
Therefore, the correct IUPAC name is:
-
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.
