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 «citrate monobasique d'ammonium» qui est un anglicisme de mauvais aloi. 1, record 4, French, - 2%2Dhydroxydihydrog%C3%A9nopropane%2D1%2C2%2C3%2Dtricarboxylate%20d%26rsquo%3Bammonium
