OBS

hydrogénophosphate de magnésium : forme recommandée par l'Union internationale de chimie pure et appliquée (UICPA).

OBS

L'adjectif basique est correctement utilisé en français pour désigner un sel basique qui peut formellement libérer un anion OH-. Il est fortement déconseillé de l'utiliser en français dans le cas d'un sel acide contenant un ou plusieurs cations H+; on doit donc éviter le nom «phosphate dibasique de magnésium» qui est un anglicisme de mauvais aloi.
