Or maybe you mean add a string on every line except the first?

Code:
awk 'NR > 1 { $0="name of the Complex" $0 }1' output_file

If "name of the Complex" is not meant as a static string, but something you can derive programmatically somehow, you need to tell us how to obtain it.

control  character is initially . (dot).  The formatted output is
produced on standard output.  The formatting commands are  listed

  .ix n   Same as .in but continue filling output on current line.
