  1. (Chimie) Oxyanion d’un sel de bohrium.
    • nielsbohrium
      Bh, name unsuccessfully suggested for bohrium, in honor of the Danish physicist Niels Henrik David Bohr (1885–1962)—the suggested name was intended to avoid confusion between boron and bohrium in derived names such as borate and bohrate.
      — (Alexander Senning, Elsevier’s Dictionary of Chemoetymology, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2006)
    • There was some concern however that the name might be confused with boron and in particular the distinguishing of the names of their respective oxo-ions bohrate and borate. Despite this, the name bohrium for element 107 was recognized internationally in 1997. The IUPAC subsequently decided that bohrium salts should be called bohriates. — (Wikipedia)

Notes modifier

L’IUPAC a décidé, fin XXe siècle, d’utiliser bohriate plutôt que bohrate pour éviter l’homonymie avec borate.
