What is the ligand name of the thiocyanate?
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The ligand name of thiocyanate is "thiocyanato" when it is coordinated to a metal in a complex. It can also be represented by the formula "SCN⁻" or "NCS⁻" depending on which atom is coordinating to the metal. When the sulfur atom is the donor, it's called "thiocyanato" (or "thio-") and when the nitrogen atom is the donor, it is referred to as "isothiocyanato."
