Pnictatetrahedrane, the name

[edit]

I am concerned that the term "pnictatetrahedrane" is original research. I can find phosphatetrahedrane and azatetrahedrane but not with pnicta- prefix. If no one has used this term before in a publication, then this page should be renamed, perhaps to phosphatetrahedrane. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:42, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know! Would "Pnictogen-Containing Tetrahedrane Analogues" work as an alternative? Lipidmonolayer1 (talk) 01:43, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Lipidmonolayer1: That sounds a more descriptive name that does not invent a new word, which is probably acceptable, but should be in sentence case: Pnictogen-containing tetrahedrane analogues. But still no one seems to have used that exact term. I can see a title of "Tetrahedranes Containing the Unique Bridging Hetero‐Dipnictogen Ligand"; "phosphorus-substituted tetrahedranes"; "Tetrahedra Involving Group 15 Atoms" (we could probably also use "pnictogen-substituted tetrahedranes.

I think that "Pnictogen-substituted tetrahedranes" would be the most inclusive and approachable name choice. If you agree, I'm more than happy to change the name. Lipidmonolayer1 (talk) 07:17, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Now moved. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:26, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
