The IUPAC name of the complex is:
Dicyanidosilver(II) diaquaargentate(II)
Diaquasilver(II) dicyanidoargentate(II)
Dicyanidosilver(I) diaquaargentate(I)
Diaquasilver(I) dicyanidoargentate(I)
To determine the IUPAC name of the complex we need to follow the IUPAC nomenclature rules for coordination compounds.1. Identify the cation and anion in the complex:⢠The complex is composed of two parts: and ⢠is the cation, and is the anion.2. Naming the cation:⢠The cation contains silver coordinated with two water molecules.⢠In naming, the ligands are named first followed by the metal.⢠Water as a ligand is called 'aqua'.⢠Since there are two water molecules, we use the prefix 'di'.⢠The oxidation state of silver in is +1.⢠Therefore, the cation is named 'diaquasilver(I)'.3. Naming the anion:⢠The anion contains silver coordinated with two cyanide ions.⢠Cyanide as a ligand is called 'cyanido'.⢠Since there are two cyanide ions, we use the prefix 'di'.⢠The oxidation state of silver in is +1.⢠Therefore, the anion is named 'dicyanidoargentate(I)'.4. Combining the names:⢠The cation name is written first followed by the anion name.⢠Thus, the IUPAC name of the complex is 'Diaquasilver(I) dicyanidoargentate(I)'.This corresponds to Option 4.
