Inorganic Ligand Naming Question

[NotMrX]

Naming the complexes with two different types of ligands confuse me. How do you tell which ligand to include first in the name? Which ligand do you write first in the brackets?

Thanks for anyhelp

Ligands should be listed in alphabetical order.

I understand that naming complexes with two different types of ligands can be confusing. The key to determining the correct order of ligands in the name is to follow the alphabetical order of the ligands. The ligand that comes first alphabetically will be written first in the brackets, followed by the second ligand. This helps to maintain consistency and avoid confusion when naming complexes with multiple ligands. I hope this helps clarify the naming process for you.
