Apparent contradiction: The data in the chembox indicates this compound is a salt of napthalene carboxylic acids, yet the article naphthenic acid indicates it should be the salt of cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl carboxylic acids. --Ed (Edgar181) 14:12, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

The formula was wrong. I searched CAS, and the CAS number given in the infobox matches the name. CAS gives the formula as "unspecified", so I removed it. "Naphtenic acid" is not a pure compound; clearly someone confused it with naphthoic acid. --Itub 15:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for looking into it. --Ed (Edgar181) 16:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
