My comment:

My guess: If not a typo, it could come from "antique" antication= strive for an antique look.

Antikation/Anti-Kation = Anion

My comment:

antication = anti-cation
cf physical chemistry, https://www.dictionary.com/browse/cation

Anode = syn. auch “Antikathode” [= oft Metall, auf das Kathodenstrahlen treffen; s. Materialprüfung, Nanotechnologie]

analog dazu : Anti-Kation = Anion
Kathode = neg. geladene Elektrode (Pluspol) : positiv geladene Teilchen = Kationen !
Anode = pos. geladene Elektrode (Minuspol) : negativ geladene Teilchen = Anionen!
ergo: Anti-Kation = Anion

cf https://www.wissenschaft.de/wissenschafts-lexikon/wahrig/antikatode/
cf https://educalingo.com/de/dic-de/antikathode

I think this is the right answer, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gegenion The correct German translation would be: Gegenkation

Yes Joachim, but "Gegenion = counterion" and "Gegenkation = counter cation" ? cf https://chem.libretexts.org/Ancillary_Materials/Worksheets/Worksheets%3A_Inorganic_Chemistry/Structure_and_Reactivity_in_Organic_Biological_and_Inorganic_Chemistry/03%3A_Introduction_to_Ionic_Compounds/3.2%3A_Counterions ; https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ange.201905600 ; https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201905600

Veralterung

My comment:

It is either a synonyme to “obsolescence“ (=Veralterung) or a fingertip error. So, please check against the context whether the autor could mean “anticipation“.
