- Ligand: The species bonded to the central metal ion is ammonia, . It is a neutral molecule that donates its nitrogen lone pair to the metal, making it a neutral, monodentate ligand. In this complex there are two such ligands.
- Central metal ion: The metal at the centre of the complex is silver. Since the overall complex ion carries a charge and both ligands are neutral, the silver must be present as , i.e. silver in the oxidation state, with a coordination number of 2 (linear geometry, typical for complexes with two ligands).
- IUPAC name: Following the IUPAC rules for naming coordination complexes:
- Ligands are named first, in alphabetical order, with neutral ammonia named as 'ammine'; since there are two of them, the multiplying prefix 'di' is used: 'diammine'. …
