Category:Scenario:Nomenclature



This book attempts to discuss possible alternatives to the current system of chemical compound nomenclature as set forth by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). These pages are generally specialized and complex. If you think there is some vital functionality that I should add before IUPAC will adopt this nomenclature system, please let me know at User Talk:Yunzhong Hou.


 * IUPAC--Current rules endorsed by IUPAC
 * Old Nomenclature--An alternative that is similar to the current version

An alternative to the alternative, that is very different from the current version: (this is split into several sections.)


 * Straight Hydrocarbons


 * Branched Hydrocarbons


 * Circular Hydrocarbons


 * Functional Groups


 * Charges


 * E-Z Convention


 * Polymers


 * Reactions
