Could somebody please explain why this article should be merged with Azobisisobutylonitrile? I'm assuming for the moment that they are different compounds, although apparently related. Thanks. — RJH (talk) 14:47, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Which article? Merge? What? This is the talkpage of Azobisisobutylonitrile, you cannot merge an article with itself. Could you please specify? --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


  • I think there is a misunderstanding, the page on ABCN contains a merge proposal to this page (proposed by myself), the page barely contains data and the table is empty. Many other chemical compound pages contain information on related molecules, for example Lithium aluminium hydride has info on related red-al V8rik 15:24, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:ABCN has already been redirected here, which is quite improper. If the artiles are separate, cthe talk pages should be separate. I'm going to revert the redirect. --Bduke 01:22, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I was told here that the merge would be a bad idea. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 17:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The drawing

Shouldn't it just be a double bond between the two N´s? Instead of a tripple bond, and thats why its called azo... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Christian75 (talkcontribs) 28 July 2006 10:02 UTC.

the above is fixed but another problem is the stoichimetry is wrong: the reaction produces two radical fragments —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 132.181.173.204 (talkcontribs) 19 December 2006 03:35 UTC.

Fixed. Take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry/Image Request. --Rifleman 82 14:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

The article title is spelled wrong, it should not be Azobisisobutylonitrile but Azobisisobutyronitrile since it's the most commonly used. A quick search on Google with each version will confirm this. -- Eugene 140.247.239.153 (talk) 01:33, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Agree, name change is in order V8rik (talk) 16:59, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Done and done. Looks like we had had the "r" spelling as a redirect to the "l" spelling, but I've never seen the "l" before in literature or chemical catalogs. DMacks (talk) 17:27, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
