Compendi De Nomenclatura De Quimica Analitca

An extensive collection of papers on analytical nomenclature in pure and applied chemistry that have been accepted by professional bodies, first published in 1977 and updated in 1987. The third edition incorporates new instrumentation and automated processes, the widening of questions from merely what a substance is to what its structure is and how in changes in composition and structure in space and time, and the much wider range of applications in research, development, production, and service. The pages are not numbered consecutively. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Chemical nomenclature has attracted attention since the beginning of chemistry, because the need to exchange knowledge was recognised from the early days. The responsibility for providing nomenclature to the chemical community has been assigned to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, whose Rules for Inorganic Nomenclature have been published and revised in 1958 and 1970. Since then many new compounds have appeared, particularly with regard to coordination chemistry and boron chemistry, which were difficult to name from the 1970 Rules. Consequently the IUPAC Commission of Nomenclature on Inorganic Chemistry decided to thoroughly revise the last edition of the `Red Book.' Because many of the new fields of chemistry are very highly specialised and need complex types of name, the revised edition will appear in two parts. Part 1 will be mainly concerned with general inorganic chemistry, Part 2 with more specialised areas such as strand inorganic polymers and polyoxoanions. This new edition represents Part 1 - in it can be found rules to name compounds ranging from the simplest molecules to oxoacids and their derivatives, coordination compounds, and simple boron compounds.
