can this be a correct nomenclature: m,m-dinitrotoluene, or do you need to use numbers instead of the meta position notation?!

i was never taught on using 2ms in the same name. just follow standard IUPAC names

i agree with geodome

if both nitros are meta then i guess it should be 3,5-dinitrotoluene
