Although most of the metal coordination complexes in this series fall under Rule TP-8.1, other structural types do occur, and seem likely to increase. These are named using the Rules for Coordination Compounds as illustrated below, where the number in brackets after the side heading refers to the appropriate part of those rules.

TP-9.1. Coordination Complexes of Unknown Structure (Inorganic Rule 7.41). Where the detail of structure is unknown the name, in the extended form "metal complex of free base" (e.g. the zinc coordination complex of bilirubin), indicates stoichiometric composition only.
TP-9.2. Coordination other than at Central Nitrogen (Inorganic Rules 7.33, 7.34, 7.513 and D-2.38, D-2.39.). All earlier examples assume coordination to central nitrogen atoms (Rule TP-8.1). Coordination to other sites must be specifically designated as shown below:
Example:
|
Tetracarbonyl[7-8-η-(21,23-dimethylporphyrin)]iron(0) |
Example:
 | Bis(phthalocyaninato)uranium(IV) or Uranium(IV) bisphthalocyaninate |
The bridging ligand is given the prefix μ, and if, in addition, certain atoms function as bridges, this symbol is repeated to indicate these, as shown in the following example:
 | μ-[5,10,15,20-Tetraphenylporphyrinato(2-)-N22,N24,μ-N21,μ-N23]- -bis[tricarbonylrhenium(I)] or Bis[tricarbony1rhenium(I)] μ-[5,10,15,20- |
TP-9.5. Axial Bridging Ligands.
Examples:
| 1. |  |
α,β-(μ-Oxo)-bis[mesoporphyrinatoiron(III)] |
| 2. |  |
α,α-(μ-Oxo)-bis[(mesoporphyrinato dimethyl ester)iron(III)] or Bis[dimethyl 7,12-diethyl-3,8,13,17-tetramethyl-2,18- (Where the stereochemical configuration is unknown the stereochemical designators α and β are omitted). |
Note Because the assignment of α and β is dependent on the direction of numbering of substituents, the α side of the trivially named mesoporphyrin is the β side when named systematically.
