Objective

To complement the current Red Book (RBI - recommendations 1990 and revised version in preparation), providing definitive rules for various nomenclature areas. This book will include the following chapters:

  • II-1: Polyanions
  • II-2: Isotopically Modified Inorganic Compounds
  • II-3: Metal Complexes of Tetrapyrroles
  • II-4: Hydrides of Nitrogen and Derived Cations, Anions and Ligands
  • II-5: Inorganic Chain and Ring Compounds
  • II-6: Graphite Intercalation Compounds
  • II-7: Regular Single-strandand Quasi Single-Strand Inorganic and Coordination Polymers
Progress

The book is edited by J.A.McCleverty and N.G.Connelly and includes the usual collection of frontispiece pages and an 18-column Periodic Table. The CNIC eventually decided to exclude the Chapters on Abbreviations and on Radicals at this stage, pending extensive reviews of these contributions and the emergence of a revised version of RBI.
