A question from a colleague. I wonder what "ter-" means in this context...

What would be the molecular formula?

Thanks in advance.

叔丁酸钾

The correct form of terbutanoate is tert-butanoate. Tert- means tertiary, i.e., 叔.

NKWong, on second thought, please ask your colleague to check if it is actually potassium terbutanolate. If so, it means 叔丁醇钾, which makes sense. Anyway, "ter-" means 叔 in this context.
