IUPAC names of four complexes

Short answer

i) Potassium hexacyanoferrate(III); ii) Sodium trioxalatoaluminate(III); iii) Triamminechlorocyanonitrito-N-cobalt(III); iv) Hexanitratochromate(III) ion.

Write the IUPAC name of the followings: i) K₃[Fe(CN)₆] ii) Na₃[Al(C₂O₄)₃] iii) [Co Cl.CN.NO₂.(NH₃)₃] iv) [Cr(NO₃)₆]³⁻

i) K₃[Fe(CN)₆]: potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) ii) Na₃[Al(C₂O₄)₃]: sodium trioxalatoaluminate(III) iii) [CoCl(CN)(NO₂)(NH₃)₃]: triamminechlorocyanonitrito-N-cobalt(III) (the complex is neutral: Co³⁺ with Cl⁻, CN⁻, NO₂⁻) iv) [Cr(NO₃)₆]³⁻: hexanitratochromate(III) ion

Ligands are in alphabetical order (ammine, chloro, cyano, nitrito).
