editApparent contradiction: The data in the chembox indicates this compound is a salt of napthalene carboxylic acids, yet the article naphthenic acid indicates it should be the salt of cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl carboxylic acids. --Ed (Edgar181) 14:12, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- The formula was wrong. I searched CAS, and the CAS number given in the infobox matches the name. CAS gives the formula as "unspecified", so I removed it. "Naphtenic acid" is not a pure compound; clearly someone confused it with naphthoic acid. --Itub 15:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking into it. --Ed (Edgar181) 16:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Don't remove this article. It is helpful and better than nothing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.31.186.217 (talk) 15:43, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
- The image in the dutch (netherlands) interwiki clearly indicates that this is not a naphthenic acid derivative, but a derivative of naphthalene. Albmont (talk) 18:05, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Hardly an organometallic compound
editMetal carboxylates are not normally classified as organometallic compounds. Shouldn't these involve metal-carbon bonds?150.227.15.253 (talk) 11:33, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
- I have restored the article to an older version. It looks like student classwork in 2012 introduced content that contains multiple errors and much off topic information. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:20, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
