Move to new name: Aminopolycarboxylate
[edit]I propose to move the article to "aminopolycarboxylate". Two of the most important members of this class of ligands are mono-amines (e.g., NTA). In the business, both terms are used, but probably aminopoly... is more descriptive than polyamino... The aspect that is "poly" is the carboxylate. --Smokefoot (talk) 16:21, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
name
[edit]There is general confusion in the literature between the name given to the fully protonated species and the ligand, in a complex, which has lost [all] protons from the -COOH groups: for example nitrilotriacetic acid and nitrilotriacetate. This applies also to a chemical formula like [M(NTA)(H2O)n] m+. What has IUPAC got to say about this?Petergans (talk) 14:28, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
