When the coordination compound NiCl6HO is mixed with AgNO, 2 moles of AgCl are precipitated per mole of the compound. Write:
i) the structural formula of the complex
ii) the IUPAC name of the complex

Answer: (i) [Ni(H₂O)₆]Cl₂. (ii) Hexaaquanickel(II) chloride.

Solution

Two Cl precipitate as AgCl ⇒ both chlorides are ionisable counter-ions; all six HO are coordinated.
(i)
