@ prem 
no , u need not to give any type of space while doing the nomenclature of coordination compound . 
i am enlisting some of the rules here . but its not the complete rule . 
1- name of cations should written before anion 
2- the ligands will be named before the metal ion . 
3- ligands must have to be listed in alphabetical order , the anionic ligands end with letter o 
4- natural lugands are given their usual names with some exceptions . 
such as NH3 for ammine , H20 for aqua . etc 
it will be betetr if u can let me know the ques in which u have problem .
