Preferred Label : onium compounds;
IUPAC definition : derivatives formed by substitution of the above parent ions by groups having two or
three free valencies on the same atom. such derivatives are, where possible, designated
by a specific class name. e.g. r c 3 o1 hydrocarbylidyne oxonium ions, r2 c 2 n1
h2 x-1 iminium compounds, r c 3 n h1 nitrilium ions.; derivatives formed by substitution of the above parent ions by univalent groups. the
number of substituted hydrogen atoms is, especially in the case of hydrocarbyl substituents,
indicated by the adjectives primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary. e.g.
cl 2 f 1 dichlorofluoronium, c
h3 2 s1 h dimethylsulfonium (a secondary sulfonium ion), cl
c h3 3 p1 chlorotrimethylphosphonium, c h3 c
h2 4 n1 tetraethylammonium (a quaternary ammonium ion). arsonium compounds
halonium ions oxonium ions phosphonium compounds quaternary ammonium compounds stibonium
compounds sulfonium compounds; cations (with their counter-ions) derived by addition of a hydron to a mononuclear
parent hydride of the nitrogen, chalcogen and halogen families.
