A. "Pentaamminebromorhodium(III)", for [Rh(NH_3)_5Br]^(2+)

Explanation:

B. "Tetraamminezinc(II) nitrate"

I (try to!) follow the rules on this [site.](http://www.chemistry.wustl.edu/~edudev/LabTutorials/naming_coord_comp.html) The absence of spaces or hyphens is kosher, but it makes for a real mouthful.

Could either of these complexes generate optical isomerism?
