Chemical compounds must be named for a variety of reasons such as for databases, publications, patents, export-import regulations, and legal situations, and for communication in the field of environment, health, and safety. Accordingly, this valuable reference provides nomenclature compatible with those used in the most important databases (SciFinder, STN) and indexes used by chemists and other scientists. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the world of chemical nomenclature, allowing the user to name compounds (and to identify compounds from names) while understanding the differences between the two international systems currently in use. With this book, one can generate or interpret such names for organic, organometallic, and coordination compounds without studying the often confusing IUPAC nomenclature publications.
