A chemistry question: Which coloured IUPAC book is meant for nomenclature rules? I know gold book is for terminologies.
Blue, red, green or something else?
Especially I'm looking for nomenclature of coordination compounds.
Or if anyone knows: Which is the recommended IUPAC name for the ligand (NH2 CH3) - 'methylammine' or 'methanamine'?

@GuruVishnu red
"methylamine" if you mean something like dichloridobis(methylamine)copper(II)

Fine. That was my choice too. My book said used "methanamine" and that's why I got confused. A small clarification, shouldn't we use "ammine" instead of "amine"?
That was for the complex - [Pt(NH3)2Cl(NH2CH3)]Cl (book's name: Diamminechlorido(methanamine)platinum(II) chloride) whereas I took (methylammine).

@GuruVishnu The Red Book also has diamminechlorido(methanamine)platinum(II) chloride
It's not clear in the Red Book when they use methanamine or methylamine. Both were correct names in organic chemistry when the Red Book was printed.
Later, however, the Blue Book clarified that methanamine is preferred. But that's for the organic compound, not necessarily for the ligand.

Ok. Got it. It was in the page 164 (here). I thought for NH3 they used "mm" instead of "m" so expected the same here. It seems it doesn't matter.
Thank you very much for your help :-)

Yes, the mm is only used for NH3 ligands.

@user7951 Thank you for sharing. I like the brief version in particular. It's just 4 pages and it'll definitely be helpful :-)
