/mᵻˈlɪtɪk/, U.S.

/məˈlɪdɪk/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: mellite n., -ic suffix.

Etymology: < mellite n. + -ic suffix. Compare French acide mellitique (1809), acide mellithique (1836).The forms used by Klaproth (1799: see quot. 1802 for mellitic acid n.) were post-classical Latin acidum melilithicum and French acide de Melilithe : see melilithic adj.

Chemistry.

mellitic acid n. a colourless crystalline acid obtained from mellite or by oxidizing carbon with nitric acid; benzenehexacarboxylic acid, C₆(COOH)₆.

1984 N. N. Greenwood & A. Earnshaw Chem. of Elements (1986) viii. 308 [Graphite] is oxidised by hot concentrated HNO₃ to mellitic acid, C₆(CO₂H)₆, in which planar-hexagonal C₁₂ units are preserved.
