Talk:Mixed-anion compounds

Compounds with ethyl and methyl
Well we could have articles on organic compounds with ethyl and methyl. It reads like WP:SYNTHESIS. --Smokefoot (talk) 11:38, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

compound or mixture and the Law_of_definite_proportions]
It seems to me that some of the chemicals discussed here are not really compounds, in the chemistry sense, but more like mixtures. That is more obvious in cases where any proportion of the two exists. That is, where the Law_of_definite_proportions does not apply. Gah4 (talk) 00:01, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The idea is that they have to be in one single phase. Some of them do allow substitution of one anion by another on a continuous scale. Nearly every compound does allow a limited substitution of one component (element) by another. Another term is mixed anion materials. It would be renamed to that title too.

 * OK, I suspect that I believe that for anions with the same valence, such that they can form a crystal structure, that should be fine. I was editing the hydride page, and there are links for pages like hydridonitrides which seem, to me, more like a mix of two compounds. I have no idea how they crystallize.
