Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

K3[Fe(CN)6] Cation Anion Oxidation state of Fe in anion = + 3 Thus it is potassium hexacyanoferrate (III).

Q. The IUPAC name of the co-ordination compound $K_{3} [F e (CN)_{6}]$ is:

Tripotassium hexacyanoiron (II)

Potassium hexacyanoiron (II)

Potassium hexacyanoferrate (III)

Potassium hexacyanoferrate (II)

$K_{3} [F e (CN)_{6}]$
Cation Anion Oxidation state of Fe in anion = + 3
Thus it is potassium hexacyanoferrate (III).
