COMPOUND LIST BY NAME

A general reference often consulted today for the physical and chemical properties of common chemicals is Lange s Handbook of Chemistry (Dean 1999), which lists many chemical compounds and their most important properties. It is organized into separate chapters of Physical constants of organic molecules with 4300 compounds and Physical constants of inorganic molecules, and lists each compound alphabetically by name. Some of these properties are very sensitive to temperature, but less sensitive to pressure, and they are listed as tables, or more compactly as equations of the form /(T) for example, liquid heats of evaporation, heat capacities of multi-atom gases, vapor pressures over liquids, liquid and solid solubilities in liquids, and liquid viscosities. Some of these properties are sensitive both to temperature and pressure. 

Substances are listed by name, either an lUPAC systematic name or, in the case of drugs and other complex compounds, a common synonym. Inorganic compounds, including metal salts of organic acids, are listed first, followed by organic compounds. The molecular formula in the HUl convention is included. 

This table gives selected properties of some important amino acids and closely related compounds. The first part of the table lists the 20 standard amino acids that are the basic constituents of proteins. The second part includes other amino acids and related compounds of biochemical importance. Within each part of the table the compounds are listed by name in alphabetical order. Structures are given in the following table. 

Many fluorocarbon compounds are listed by name in the regulations of DOT and TC, and those not listed can be shipped under refrigerant and dispersant gas, n.o.s. entries [9, 10]. At one time, the prefix mono was used in DOT listings to show the presence of one atom of the indicated element, but it is omitted in modem terminology. The prefix mono is not acceptable on documents in Canada. 

The written name of a compound includes the names of the elements it contains and information about the numbers of atoms of each element. The elements have to occur in some order, and this order is set by the same guidelines as for the chemical formula (see Section 3-11. Names can contain element names, roots derived from element names, and prefixes indicating the number of atoms of each element. Tables and 3 list the more important roots and prefixes that appear in the names of binaiy compounds. We can summarize the rules for naming binary compounds in three guidelines ...
