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.

The 'Red Book' is the definitive guide for scientists requiring internationally approved inorganic nomenclature in a legal or regulatory environment.

Chemical nomenclature has attracted attention since the beginning of chemistry, when the need to exchange knowledge was first recognised. The responsibility for providing nomenclature to the chemical community was assigned to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, whose Rules for Inorganic Nomenclature were 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 using the 1970 Rules. Consequently, the IUPAC Commission on the Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry decided to thoroughly revise the last edition of the 'Red Book'. As many of the new fields of chemistry are very highly specialised and require complex nomenclature, the revised edition is in two parts. Whilst Part I is mainly concerned with general inorganic chemistry, this volume, Part II, addresses such diverse chemistry as polyanions, isotopic modification, tetrapyrroles, nitrogen hydrides, inorganic ring, chain, polymer, and graphite intercalation compounds. The recommendations bring order to the nomenclature of these specialised systems, based on the fundamental nomenclature described in Part I and the organic nomenclature publications. Each chapter has been subject to extensive review by members of IUPAC and practising chemists in various areas.

A thoroughly revised edition of the 'Red Book'.

Aimed at pre-university and undergraduate students, this volume surveys the current IUPAC nomenclature recommendations in organic, inorganic and macromolecular chemistry.

For the first time, chemists, biochemists, pharmacologists, scientists at all levels in both academia and industry, documentalists, editors, and software developers can rely on a user-friendly book which contains everything required for the construction or interpretation of systematic names of organic, organometallic, or coordination compounds, as well as those for more complicated molecules.

This is one of the few books available that uses unifying theoretical concepts to present inorganic chemistry at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels--most texts are organized around the periodic table, while this one is structured after bonding models, structure types, and reaction patterns. But the real strength of Porterfield's Second Edition is its clear presentation of ample background description, especially in recent areas of development such as cluster molecules, industrial catalysis, and bio-inorganic chemistry. This information will enable students to understand most current journals, empowering them to stay abreast of the latest advances in the field. Specific improvements of the Second Edition include new chapters on materials-science applications and bioinorganic chemistry, an extended discussion of transition-metal applications (including cuprate superconductors), and extended Tanabe-Sugano diagrams. - Extended treatment of inorganic materials science--ceramics, refractories, magnetic materials, superconductors--in the context of solid-state chemistry - Extended coverage of biological systems and their chemical and physiological consequences--02 metabolism, N2 fixation, muscle action, iron storage, cisplatin and nucleic acid structural probes, and photosynthesis - Unusual structures and species--silatranes, metallacarboranes, alkalides and electrides, vapor-deposition species, proton and hybrid sponges, massive transition-metal clusters, and agostic ligands - Thorough examination of industrial processes using organometallic catalysts and their mechanisms - Entropy-driven reactions - Complete discussion of inorganic photochemistry

Introduction to Chemical Nomenclature: Fifth Edition delves into the nomenclature, the system of how names or terms are formed, of different compounds. The book covers the development of chemical nomenclature; the nomenclature of different ions, salts, and compounds under inorganic chemistry; the principles involved in the nomenclature of organic compounds including hydrocarbons and heterocycles; and special features and functional groups. The selection also covers natural products such as carbohydrates, lipids, steroids, amino acids and nucleic acids, alkaloids, and peptides, as well as the miscellaneous chemical nomenclature, which includes organometallic and isotopically modified compounds and polymers. The text is a good reference for students who have trouble in the nomenclature of different chemical substances and those who want to study the principles behind the chemical nomenclature.

How to Name an Inorganic Substance serves a guide to the use of nomenclature of inorganic chemistry. 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.

This book covers different aspects of Inorganic Chemistry in 10 chapters with up-to-date coverage. Some topics include VSEPR theory, delocalized p-bonding in polyatomic molecules, metal clusters and their bonding, stability constants of metal complexes, magnetochemistry, mechanism of inorganic reactions, and molecular orbital (MO) approach of bonding in transition metals. Safe and economical inorganic experiments at UG Levels is also presented.
