Intern:Short rules of chemical nomenclatures

This is a work in progress page. This wiki-page shall provide an overview about the most important basic rules of chemical nomenclatures recommended by IUPAC. This applies to systematic as well as semisystematic names. =Limitations of this wiki-page= Please note, that this wiki-page can only provide a rough overview about the most common cases.

Many exceptions and special cases exist in chemical nomenclature. These cases can not be tackled in this guideline. We must refer to the original IUPAC publications for this.

Especially, if different ways of naming a compound do exist, complex rules must be applied to determine the preferred name of a compound. If in doubt, several synonyms may be defined within the PANGAEA terminology catalogue.
