Nomenclature and Representation

5 for the cyclic tetramer, dihomooxatetramer, cyclic hexamer, and cyclic oc-tamer derived from a p-substituted phenol and formaldehyde. The phenol-derived and resorcinol-derived cyclooligomers can be differentiated by referring to the former as endo-OH calixarenes i.e. the OH groups oriented toward the 

As already indicated, the term calixarene is variously employed in different contexts. In colloquial usage e.g. as often employed in the discussion section of a paper) the name implies the presence of hydroxyl groups as, for instance, in p-terr-butylcalix[4]arene as applied to 4 (R = t-Bu). More precisely, in keeping with the suggestion above, the accurate specification of a compound e.g. as used in the experimental section of a paper) implies only the basic skeleton to which

Two appendices are induded at the end of this chapter. The first is intended to serve as a reminder, for those of you who might need it, of Ae nomenclature and representation of stereoisomers. The second appendix contains descriptions of various chemo-enzymatic mefiiods of amino add production. This appendix has been constructed laigely fi-om the recent primary literature and indudes many new advances in the field. It is not necessary for you to consult the appendix to satisfy the learning objectives of the chapter, rafiier file information is provided to illustrate the extensive range of mefiiodology assodated with chemo-enzymatic approaches to amino add production. It is fiierrfore available for those of you who may wish to extend your knowledge in this area. Where available, data derived from file literature are us to illustrate methods and to discuss economic aspects of lai scale production.

A rigorous and complete mathematical treatment of the polarization of light and the interaction of light with oriented matter is outside the scope of this chapter. These subjects have been thoroughly dealt with before and can be found in a number of comprehensive texts [29-32] the reader is referred to the excellent book by Michl and Thulstrup [3] for a more detailed treatment of optical spectroscopy with polarized light. Here, a conventional, qualitative representation is given to establish the nomenclature and conventions to be used and to facilitate the understanding of the concepts presented.

As outlined in the previous section, there is a hierarchy of possible representations of metabolism and no unique definition what constitutes a true model of metabolism exists. Nonetheless, mathematical modeling of metabolism is usually closely associated with changes in compound concentrations that are described in terms of rates of biochemical reactions. In this section, we outline the nomenclature and the essential steps in constructing explicit kinetic models of metabolic networks. 

Another characteristic point is the special attention that in intermetallic science, as in several fields of chemistry, needs to be dedicated to the structural aspects and to the description of the phases. The structure of intermetallic alloys in their different states, liquid, amorphous (glassy), quasi-crystalline and fully, three-dimensionally (3D) periodic crystalline are closely related to the different properties shown by these substances. Two chapters are therefore dedicated to selected aspects of intermetallic structural chemistry. Particular attention is dedicated to the solid state, in which a very large variety of properties and structures can be found. Solid intermetallic phases, generally non-molecular by nature, are characterized by their 3D crystal (or quasicrystal) structure. A great many crystal structures (often complex or very complex) have been elucidated, and intermetallic crystallochemistry is a fundamental topic of reference. A great number of papers have been published containing results obtained by powder and single crystal X-ray diffractometry and by neutron and electron diffraction methods. A characteristic nomenclature and several symbols and representations have been developed for the description, classification and identification of these phases. 

The aim of this chapter is to introduce and summarize the work on polymer nomenclature which has emanated, firstly, from the Commission on Macromolecular Nomenclature of the lUPAC Macromolecular Division and, latterly, from the Sub-Committee on Polymer Terminology of the lUPAC Macromolecular (now Polymer) Division, jointly with the lUPAC Chemical Nomenclature and Structure Representation Division. The Commission on Macromolecular Nomenclature is henceforth denoted as the Commission . 

Early efforts in what could be termed polymer informatics go back to an ACS symposium on polymer nomenclature in the late 1960s [46-51]. Papers in this symposium were mainly concerned with issues of polymer nomenclature and aspects of information retrieval. A first set of seminal papers only appeared about a decade later, as a consequence of another ACS symposium on the retrieval of polymer information in 1978 [52-59]. Collectively, the papers resulting from the 1978 symposium set out the challenges still faced by polymer informatics today the fuzzy nature of polymers and the variety of different types of descriptions and representations of polymers arising as a consequence, the problem of information... 

The conversion from a connection table to other unambiguous representations is substantially more difficult. The connection table is the least structured representation and incorporates no concepts of chemical significance beyond the list of atoms, bonds, and connections. A complex set of rules must be applied in order to derive nomenclature and linear notation representations. To translate from these more structured representations to a connection table requires primarily the interpretation of symbols and syntax. The opposite conversion, from the connection table to linear notation, nomenclature, or coordinate representation first requires the detailed analysis of the connection table to identify appropriate substructural units. The complex ordering rules of the nomenclature or notation system or the esthetic rules for graphic display are then applied to derive the desired representation.

However, let s move on to see how we can interpret molecular formula and names, and then step forward to some simple rules of nomenclature and examples. How we can read inorganic nomenclature is exemplified below. Note how the metal is placed first in the formula representation of the complex unit and last in the written name some other aspects are obviously common to both representations (Figure A.2).

When using structural formulae, care should be taken in the interpretation and representation of isomeric and geometric features. This is particularly true for the stereochemistry of complex lipids such as acylglycerols and the ring systems and substituents of steroids. The development of a solid grounding in lipid nomenclature will stand the researcher or food technologist in good stead.
