Question

IUPAC name of \( [Pt(NH_3)_2Cl(NH_2CH_3)]Cl \) is:

• A. (Amino methane) chloro (diammine) platinum (II) chloride.
• B. Chlorodiammine (methanamine) platinum (II) chloride.
• C. Diamminechloro (methanamine) platinum (II) chloride.
• D. Diamminechloro (methylamine) platinum (IV) chloride.

Hint:

IUPAC naming follows alphabetical order for ligands and oxidation states in Roman numerals.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identify the Ligands
\( NH_3 \) (Diammine)
\( Cl^- \) (Chloro)
\( NH_2CH_3 \) (Methanamine)
Step 2: Determine the Oxidation State
\( Pt \) is in the \( +2 \) oxidation state.
Step 3: Naming the Complex
Ligands are named alphabetically.
The correct name is Diamminechloro(methanamine)platinum(II) chloride.
