LESSON TWELVE
PHARMACOPOIEAL Chemical Nomenclature (continued)
NAMES OF SALTS and ESTERS
According to the International Pharmacopoeia, Latin names of salts (esters) consist of two nouns, the first of which is the name of the cation in the Genitive case, the second being the name of the anion in the Nominative case. For example:
Lat. Barii sulfas - Engl. Barium sulfate
Lat. Natrii nitris - Engl. Sodium nitrite
It is possible to define the type of a chemical compound from the suffix of the anion. (See the table)
In English the name of the cation in the Nominative case takes also the first place followed by the name of the anion, the suffix of which corresponds to the suffix in the Latin anion (See the table):
