Coordination Isomers Chemistry?
I need help understanding coordination isomers in chemistry. Specifically, could you provide the formulas for the coordination isomers of [Fe(H2O)6]Cl2? Please express your answers as chemical formulas separated by commas. Additionally, could you provide the full names of these coordination isomers? For example, [Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2 would be entered as Pentaaquachlorochromium(III) chloride. If there is more than one isomer, please separate the names with commas.
I would like to mention that my professor did not cover this topic in-depth, and I am attempting this graded homework through self-study. It has been quite challenging and frustrating. For the first question, my initial attempt was Fe(H2O)6^2+,Cl2, but I have been struggling with the formatting and the correct usage of commas. From what I understand, I should have only one comma.
Unfortunately, since I can't figure out the first question, I cannot proceed to the second one. I truly appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope to get some clarity soon.

You’d have to enter [Fe(H2O)6]Cl2 as hexaaquairon(II) chloride, according to the instructions, and then separate that from the other possible answers by commas. The other possibilities are those with different ligands, i.e. with the chloride(s) as part of the complex or complex ion instead of being counterion.
