Oxalaattien
Oxalaattien is a term found in some German-language chemical literature and does not represent a single, tightly defined class in international nomenclature. It is typically used to describe groups of compounds that share the oxalate motif, whether as salts, esters, or polymers. Because German chemical terminology often forms plural nouns with -ien, Oxalaattien can refer to several related substances by context rather than by a strict definitional boundary.
Chemically, the oxalate moiety derives from oxalic acid (HOOC-COOH) and commonly appears as the oxalate dianion
In practical usage, Oxalaattien may refer to commercially important oxalate salts used as chelating agents, intermediates
Safety considerations include the irritant nature of oxalate salts and the potential health risks from high
