In 2001, chemists at SUNY-Stony Brook succeeded in syn-thesizing the complex trans-[Fe(CN)4(CO)2]2-, which could be a model of complexes that may have played a role in the origin of life. The complex is isolated as a sodium salt. Write the complete name of this salt.

Expert Solution
Introduction

Co-ordination compounds are formed when the metal ion is bonded to the ligand which donates its electron pair to the central metal atom. Coordination compounds have different chemistry and have different nomenclature for the naming of these compounds. IUPAC gave some rules for its nomenclature.
