Acetates are salts formed by combining acetic acid with a base such as an alkaline, earthy, metallic, nonmetallic, or free radical base. "Acetate" also describes a conjugated base or ion usually found in aqueous solutions and written with the chemical formula C (specifically, negatively charged ions are called anions)

2. Acetate ions are neutral molecules formed by combining positive ions (called cations), also commonly called "acetate" (thus, acetate for lead, acetate for aluminum, etc.). The simplest of these is hydrogen acetate (known as acetic acid) and its corresponding salts, esters, and polyatomic anions CH

Industry produces about 5 million tons of acetic acid per year, most of which is used to produce acetate, usually in polymer form. In nature, acetate is the most common building block for biosynthesis.

Nomenclature and common formulas[edit]
When part of a salt, the molecular formula for the acetate ion is written as CH
3CO−

. Chemists usually refer to acetate as OAc− or less commonly AcO−. Thus, HOAc is the symbol for acetic acid, NaOAc is the symbol for sodium acetate, and EtOAc is the symbol for ethyl acetate[1] (since Ac is the usual symbol for the acetyl group CH3CO[2][3]). The pseudo-element symbol "Ac" is also sometimes encountered in chemical formulas to represent the entire acetate ion (CH
3CO−
2).[citation needed] Not to be confused with the symbol for actinium, the first element in the actinide series; context guides disambiguation. For example, the molecular formula for sodium acetate might be abbreviated as "NaOAc" instead of "NaC2H3O2". When using the OAc abbreviation, care should also be taken to avoid confusion with peracetic acid; for clarity and to avoid errors in translation, the use of HOAc should be avoided in literature referring to these two compounds.

Although its systematic name is acetate charge (/ɪˈθænoʊ.eɪt/), common acetate is still the preferred IUPAC name. [4]
