Biphosphate

A biphosphate is any of the following (due to fluctuations in chemical nomenclature over the centuries): * One of the two phosphate ions which can be singular to 1 metal ion ** Monohydrogen phosphate, commonly known as hydrogenphosphate, also known as biphosphate(2-) ([HPO 4 ] 2- ). ** Dihydrogen phosphate, also known as biphosphate(1-) ([H 2 PO 4 ] − ). * Any salt of phosphoric acid in which only one of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced by a metal ion ** Calcium biphosphate is monocalcium phosphate ** Potassium biphosphate is monopotassium phosphate ** Magnesium biphosphate is monomagnesium phosphate ** Sodium biphosphate is monosodium phosphate * Any diphosphate, which may be: ** Any pyrophosphate *** Any simple pyrophosphate salt (which have no hydrogen atoms) **** Calcium pyrophosphate **** Tetrasodium pyrophosphate **** Zinc pyrophosphate *** Any organic pyrophosphate or any organic molecule with two phosphate groups **** Adenosine diphosphate ***** Deoxyadenosine diphosphate **** Cytidine diphosphate ***** Deoxycytidine diphosphate **** Guanosine diphosphate ***** Deoxyguanosine diphosphate **** Thiamine pyrophosphate **** Thymidine diphosphate **** Uridine diphosphate ** Any salt or ester with two phosphate groups *** Hexestrol diphosphate
