Oye, first you list the ligands alphabetically ignoring prefixes, then the metal with its oxidation state in Roman numerals in brackets, no ending change for cationic complexes, yaar! But this IUPAC order feels as rigid as the umpire who gave Sachin out in '99—in my notes, I always scribble the oxidation state right after the metal because during coaching tests, if I mess up the sequence, it's a sure duck.
