Talk:Dimethyl telluride

Latest comment: 16 years ago by ChemistHans

The name Dimethyltelluride should be two words: Dimethyl telluride. This is "salt nomenclature" (like Sodium Chloride) in which anion and cation are always separate words (if the name ends in "ide" or "ate" the two radicals should be separated by a space). Same for Dimethyl sulfide. Dimethylmercury is correct, however (not salt nomenclature). ChemistHans 00:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
