End date:	2005-12-31
Division:	Inorganic Chemistry Division

To update and rationalize the current Red Book ( RBI - Recommendations 1990), making it consistent with current nomenclature practice, particularly with CNOC. Simplify in some areas to make RBI a widely used Handbook (cross referencing to more detailed publications, e.g. as planned for the boranes, and other Pure Appl. Chem. publications, and to other books, such as Red Book - Part II

No description available.

Project begun Summer '98, with 2 years' duration. The production ofthe book will be iterative with detailed comments from CNIC memberson all chapters required to ensure consistency throughout. Commentsfrom the chemical community will be welcome.

'Names for inorganic radicals' published in PureAppl. Chem.,72(3), 437-446, 2000, will form the basis for a revised sectionon radicals.
