Why is IUPAC name of [Pt(NH3)2Cl(NO2)] named as Diammine chlorido nitrito-N-platinum(II) Instead of Diammine chlorido nitrito-N-platinum(I) - Chemistry - Coordination Compounds

Question

Why is IUPAC name of [Pt(NH3)2Cl(NO2)] named as Diammine chlorido
nitrito-N-platinum(II) Instead of Diammine chlorido
nitrito-N-platinum(I) As Cl oxidation state is -1 and
NO2 and NH3 oxidation state is zero

Raveena Sharma · Accepted Answer

Dear student,

Oxidation state of NO2 is -1 Thus, it clearly justifies
+2 oxidation state of platinum

Regards
