Writing oxidation number of metal is not mandatory
here, if the coordination entity is charged write the
charge in parentheses after metal name instead of
oxidation number
[(H2O)Cu(µ-CH3CO2)4Cu(OH2)]
tetra-µ-acetatobis[aquacopper(II)]
Writing oxidation number of metal is not mandatory
here, if the coordination entity is charged write the
charge in parentheses after metal name instead of
oxidation number
