Oxycation

In chemistry, an oxycation is an ion with the generic formula A
xOz+
y (where A represents a chemical element and O represents an oxygen atom). They usually end with the suffix "-ium" or "-yl". However, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry standard book on nomenclature of inorganic chemistry does not mention "oxycation".[1]

Examples

  • UO+2[2]
  • NpO+2 and NpO2+2[3]
