Yohimbine HCL vs Yohimbine HCI

[JoeHT]

Is there any difference between Yohimbine HCL vs Yohimbine HCI? It seems that the 2 names are used interchangeably. Are they the same?

HCl (lowercase L) is the correct nomenclature. When making something into a salt, the formula is to show the elements included...in this case Hydrogen (big H) and Chlorine (Big C, small l).

Thanks for the answer. I must have been absent from chemistry class the day they teach that
