Naming of Phosphite Ions
The traditional name for HPO32− is phosphite, and for HPO2(OH)− is hydrogenphosphite or acid phosphite. However IUPAC recommendations are that HPO32− is to be named hydrogenphosphite or phosphonate, HPO2(OH)− is to be named dihydrogenphosphite or hydrogenphosphonate and phosphite is reserved for the hypothetical PO33− ion.

Famous quotes containing the words naming of and/or naming:
“The night is itself sleep
And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“See, see where Christ’s blood streams in the firmament!
One drop would save my soul—half a drop! ah, my Christ!—
Ah, rend not my heart for naming of my Christ!—
Yet will I call on him!—O, spare me, Lucifer!—
Where is it now? ‘T is gone; and see where God
Stretcheth out his arm, and bends his ireful brows!—
Mountains and hills, come, come and fall on me,
And hide me from the heavy wrath of God!”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
