Summary

This definitive reference book, designed for use at all levels, explains both current and historical methods of naming chemical compounds. It explains and provides a rationale for the methods used in chemical nomenclature. Terms are defined, and numerous examples add clarification. The 16 chapters proceed from elementary substances to nonstoichiometric and molecular compounds, gradually building a coherent system for communicating information about chemical entities. Among the specific topics discussed are homoatomic and heteroatomic species, coordination compounds, polymeric compounds, nonmetal hydrides and their derivatives, polyboron hydrides, chain and ring compounds, organometallic compounds, nonstoichiometric species, isotopically modified species, and stereoisomers.
