Vedclass · Answer

(B) The compound $Fe(C_5H_5)_2$ is an organometallic sandwich complex. According to $IUPAC$ nomenclature for coordination compounds,the ligand $C_5H_5^-$ is named as 'cyclopentadienyl'. Since there are two such ligands,the prefix 'bis' is used. The central metal atom is iron,and its oxidation state is calculated as $x + 2(-1) = 0$,so $x = +2$. Thus,the correct $IUPAC$ name is 'bis(cyclopentadienyl)iron $(II)$'.
