Alphabetically ordered index

Inverted forms of the chemical names (parent index headings) are used for most entries in the alphabetically ordered index. Organic names are listed at the parent based on Rule C-10, Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, 1979 Edition. Coordination compounds, salts and ions are listed once at each metal or central atom parent index heading. Simple salts and binary compounds are entered in the usual uninverted way, e.g.. Sulfur oxide (SxO), Lira-nium( V) chloride (UCL). 

Note The Subject Index for Inorganic Syntheses, Vol. 32 is based on the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry nomenclature. All non-cross referenced entries consist of the CAS Registry Name, the CAS Registry Number and the page refetence. The inverted form of the CAS Registry Name (parent index heading) is used in the alphabetically ordered index. For the reader s convenience cross references from synonyms to CAS Names ate included. 

In empirical formulas of inorganic compounds, electropositive elements are listed first [3]. The stoichiometry of the element symbols is indicated at the lower right-hand side by index numbers. If necessary, the charges of ions are placed at the top right-hand side next to the element symbol (e.g., S "). In ions of complexes, the central atom is specified before the ligands are listed in alphabetical order, the complex ion is set in square brackets (e.g., Na2[Sn(OH)+]). 

The elements of an organic compound are listed in empirical formulas according to the Hill system [8] and the stoichiometry is indicated by index numbers. Hill positioned the carbon and the hydrogen atoms in the first and the second places, with heteroatoms following them in alphabetical order, e.g., C9H11NO2. However, it was recognized that different compounds could have the same empirical formula (see Section 2.8.2, on isomerism). Therefore, fine subdivisions of the empirical... 

Both common and systematic names of compounds are used throughout this volume, depending on which the Editor-in-Chief feels is most appropriate. Preparations appear in the alphabetical order of names of the compound or names of the synthetic procedures. The Chemical Abstracts indexing name for each title compound, if it differs from the title name, is given as a subtitle. Because of the major shift to new systematic nomenclature adopted by Chemical Abstracts in 1972, many common names used in the text are immediately followed by the bracketed, new names. Whenever two names are concurrently in use, the carre CChemical Abstracts name is adopted. The prefix n- is deleted from -alkanes and w-alkyls. All reported dimensions are now expressed in S st me International units. 

Preparations appear in the alphabetical order of common names of the compounds. Eor convenience in surveying the literature concerning any preparation through Chemical Abstracts subject indexes, the Chemical Abstracts indexing name for each compound is given as a subtitle if it differs from the common name used as the title. 

Another publication is the Index of Reviews in Organic Chemistry , complied by Lewis, Chemical Society, London, a classified listing of review articles. The first volume, published in 1971, lists reviews from 1960 (in some cases much earlier) to 1970 in alphabetical order of topic. Thus four reviews are listed under Knoevenagel condensation , five under Inclusion compounds , and one under Vinyl ketones. There is no index. A second volume (1977) covers the literature to 1976. Annual or biannual supplements appeared from 1979 until the publication was terminated in 1985. Classified lists of review articles on organometallic chemistry are found in articles by Smith and Walton and by Bruce.A similar list for heterocyclic chemistry is found in articles by Katritzky and others.See also the discussion of the Index of Scientific Reviews, page 1638.
