IUPAC Name of Mn3(CO)12
The correct IUPAC name of Mn3(CO)12 is Dodecacarbonylmanganese(0).
Explanation
Mn3(CO)12 is a coordination compound consisting of 3 Mn atoms and 12 CO ligands. In order to name this compound, we first need to identify the oxidation state of the metal atom. In this case, the Mn atom has a zero oxidation state.
To name a coordination compound, we follow a set of rules given by IUPAC:
1. Identify the metal atom and its oxidation state.
2. Name the ligands in alphabetical order and indicate their number using Greek prefixes.
3. Indicate the overall charge of the complex.
Following these rules, the IUPAC name for Mn3(CO)12 is Dodecacarbonylmanganese(0):
- The metal atom is manganese (Mn) with a zero oxidation state.
- The ligand is carbonyl (CO).
- There are 12 carbonyl ligands, so we use the prefix dodeca-.
- Alphabetically, manganese comes before carbonyl, so the name is Dodecacarbonylmanganese.
- The complex has no charge, so we indicate the oxidation state of the metal in parentheses as (0).
Therefore, the correct IUPAC name of Mn3(CO)12 is Dodecacarbonylmanganese(0).
