Molecular compound naming

Molecular compound names clearly specify how many of each type of atom participate in the compound. Table 6-2 lists the prefixes used to do so. 

Many binary molecular compounds were discovered and given common names long before the modem naming system was developed. Table 9-2 lists some of these molecules, their common names, and the binary molecular compound names.

Macromolecules incorporating repeating units connected by covalent bonds are widespread in nature [1], Synthetic procedures for the construction of their artificial counterparts are well established [2], Furthermore, the properties of these unnatural macromolecules are now rather well understood and, indeed, polymeric materials have found applications in numerous branches of science and technology [2], In recent years, synthetic chemists have learned how to introduce mechanical bonds (Fig. 1) into small molecules. Mechanically interlocked rings, as well as wheels mechanically trapped onto axles, can be constructed efficiently to afford molecular compounds, named catenanes and rotaxanes, respectively.t Metal coordination [18-32], donor/acceptor interactions [33-43], hydrogen bonds [44-64] and/or hydrophobic interactions [65-78] between appropriate components have all been employed to template the formation of these exotic molecules. Making the transition from simple catenanes and rotaxanes to their macromolecular counterparts—namely, polycatenanes and polyrotaxanes.

Like other alkaloids of this group, quinine forms molecular compounds with a variety of organic substances. With benzene and toluene it produces compounds of the formulae B. CgHg and B. C,Hg respectively, with phenol it gives the crystalline product B. CgHjOH, and similar combinations with polyhydric phenols, ethers, aldehydes and ketones are known. One of the most characteristic of these substances is cupreine-quinine, a combination of the two alkaloids, obtainable from cuprea bark, and at first regarded as a new alkaloid, and named homoquinine. ... 

A compound can be identified either by its formula (e.g., NaCl) or by its name (sodium chloride). In this section, you will learn the rules used to name ionic and simple molecular compounds. To start with, it will be helpful to show how individual ions within ionic compounds are named. 

When two nonmetals combine with each other, the product is most often a binary molecular compound. There is no simple way to deduce the formulas of such compounds. There is, however, a systematic way of naming molecular compounds that differs considerably from that used with ionic compounds. 

The systematic name of a binary molecular compound, which contains two different nonmetals, consists of two words. 

A few binary molecular compounds containing H atoms ionize in water to form H+ ions. These are called acids. One such compound is hydrogen chloride, HC1 in water solution it exists as aqueous H+ and Cl- ions. The water solution of hydrogen chloride is given a special name It is referred to as hydrochloric acid. A similar situation applies with HBr and HI ...

The aim of chemical nomenclature is to be simple but unambiguous. Ionic and molecular compounds use different procedures so it is important first to identify the type of compound. To name an ionic compound, we name the ions present and then combine the names of the ions.
