Common name?

[edit]

I see mercapto radical was created, but I was under the impression that that was the common name for this species. NIST[1] seems to think so. Jesanj (talk) 21:46, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well this is a fork of what that article was earlier but the topic was changed. Mercapto radical does seem to be much more common. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:20, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like Jesanj, a patient editor, repaired my damage so things should be okay. I did remove the name and institution of the lead researcher. My preference is not to get into attributions because it leads to ego issues. We have been relatively conservative in the Chemistry project with acknowledging researchers and their institutions unless the discovery was of historic importance.--Smokefoot (talk) 03:52, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, when I started this off all I had was that one story, but it seems that it is not historic as you say, but the appearance of the story on NPR does prove notability of this topic. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:30, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
