This was a great advance, as complex hydrocarbons of various kinds could be clearly named if their stmctures were known. The Geneva system, modified and expanded by subsequent Commissions, is used systematically in the fourth and fifth editions of Be /stem s Handbuch der Organischen Chemie (1), and as the basis of lUPAC nomenclature. In 1992 a commemorative symposium on the centennial anniversary of the Geneva Conference was held in Geneva (45). 

A historical account of the development of organic nomenclature from the time preceding the Geneva Conference to faidy recent times is available...

Unbranched alkanes. Unbranched alkanes are also called normal alkanes. The names of the first four members of the homologous series of unbranched or normal alkanes, C H2 + 2 are retained names. They were coined more than 100 years ago, officially recognised by the Geneva Conference in 1892, and have been used ever since. There are no alternative names for them.

Subsequent to the Karlsruhe and Geneva conferences, the supreme court of nomenclatural problems in chemistry has been vested in what is currently known as the International Union of Pure and Applied Ghemistry. Histories of the evolution of this organization have been published (4, 7).

The Geneva conference of 1892 initiated chemical nomenclature work on an international scale, and this was later continued under the auspices of the International Union of Chemistry but was interrupted and severely hampered by two world wars and their depressing influence on international cooperation and confidence. Nevertheless the International Union of Chemistry succeeded in accomplishing nomenclature work which has already exercised a far-reaching influence on chemical literature.
