Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry : Inorganic Chemistry Division Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry

Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, Second Edition deals with the nomenclature of boron hydrides and higher hydrides of the Group IV–VI elements, organometallic compounds, and polyacids. This book deals with organoboron, organosilicon, and organophosphorus compounds. Organized into 11 chapters, this edition begins with an overview of the concept of oxidation number and coordination number, as well as the conventions governing the use of multiplying affixes, enclosing marks, letters, and numbers. This text then discusses the standardization of the formula of inorganic compounds to demonstrate the structural connections between atoms and to provide other comparative chemical information. Other chapters consider nomenclature for radicals and ions. This book discusses as well the nomenclature for binary and pseudobinary acids, oxaacids, peroxoacids, and chloroacids. The final chapter deals with the nomenclature for boron hydrides, boron radicals, and anions and cations derived from the boranes. This book is a valuable resource for organic and inorganic chemists.

This book contains a few references to the rules for the nomenclature of organic chemistry as well as of inorganic boron compounds. This text defines inorganic compounds as substances consisting of combinations of all the elements except those that comprise mainly of certain chains and rings of carbon atoms with defined atoms and groups attached to these skeletal atoms. This book presents as well the background principles involved in or related to nomenclature, including oxidation number, coordination number, multiplying affixes, enclosing marks, and use of italic letters. This guide also explains the various types of names used in chemistry, including substitutive names, simple binary names, molecular hydride or –ane names, and cations derived by proton addition to molecular hydrides. This book is a valuable resource for organic and inorganic chemists. 36p red paperback, a few library stamps, very good, issued by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry 1981 reprint
