nitroformate vs trinitromethanide

edit

The name of this is confusing. A nitroformate wouyld be expected to be O2NCO2 salt, but from the diagram and formula it is cleaar that this is a methanide. Since the hydrazinium salt of the real nitroformate also exists, perhaps the name of this is wrong, or is it really describing the wrong chemical. I cannot tell from references that just call it TNF without a formula. see http://www.chemspider.com/Chemical-Structure.80024.html and https://echa.europa.eu/substance-information/-/substanceinfo/100.040.006 for nitroformate (also has a different CASNo) Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:37, 13 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
