Hello,

When naming a complex ion, the ligands are named before the metal ion. Write the names of the ligands in the following order: neutral, negative, positive. If there are multiple ligands of the same charge type, they are named in alphabetical order. (Numerical prefixes do not affect the order.)

In former versions of the IUPAC recommendations, names were written with a capital initial letter. ... The names of chemical compounds and chemical elements when written out, are common nouns in English, rather than proper nouns. They are capitalized at the beginning of a sentence or title, but not elsewhere.

Thank you.
