Suggestion to merge this article with the one for adipic acid edit
Adipate is not a substance, only the ion formed by the deprotonation of adipic acid. As such, the value of a separate article is limited and is not how almost all other organic acids are treated (for example citric acid and citrate, hexanoic acid and hexanoate). Following a discussion at WT:WikiProject_Chemicals#Carboxylic_acids_vs_carboxylate_anion/esters, this and many similar articles are being merged with their parent acid, leaving the original pages as redirects. The content related to salts and esters will, of course, be retained. Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 16:43, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
