Detailed Solution

  • If we consider the question, the IUPAC name of K3[Fe(CN)5NO] would be Potassium penta cyano nitrito N ferrate (III).
  • The nitrile or the CN group becomes Cyano when it is present in the negative ion part of a coordination compound. 
  • Here in case of K3[Fe(CN)5NO], the coordination sphere is negative so the NO part also becomes nitro, while naming.
  • The word root -pent, represents five, as five cyano groups are present in the coordination sphere and the oxidation state of the iron, or the central metal is always mentioned in the brackets in roman numeric..
