A coordination compound has the formula, `CoCl_(3).4NH_(3)`. It does not liberate ammonia but precipitates chloride ions as silver chloride. Give the IUPAC name of the complex and write its structural formula.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Remembering that coordination number of Co is 6, the formula of the complex will be `[Co(NH_(3))_(4)Cl_(2)]Cl`. The name will be tetraamminedichloridocobalt (III) chloride.
