Answer on Question #76241, Chemistry / Inorganic Chemistry

[4(H2O)FeOH FeOH(H2O)4]4+ name of this complex.

Solution

Ligands which link two central metal atoms are usually separated from the rest of the complex by a hyphen and is/are denoted by Greek letter $\mu$ . This is repeated before the name of each bridging group in the complex.

This coordination ion is named as octaaquo- $\mu$ -dihydroxodiiron(III).

If we add anion to this coordination ion we'll get a coordination complex, for example:

$\left[(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O})_{4} \mathrm{Fe}(\mu_{2}-\mathrm{OH})_{2} \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O})_{4}\right] \left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{2}$ , which is named octaaquo- $\mu$ -dihydroxodiiron(III) sulphate.
