Nomenclature deriving structure from

Pyranose and Furanose Names Cyclic structures of monosaccharides are named according to their five- or six-membered rings. A six-membered cyclic hemiacetal is called a pyranose, derived from the name of the six-membered cyclic ether pyran. A five-membered cyclic hemiacetal is called a furanose, derived from the name of the five-membered cyclic ether ran. The ring is still numbered as it is in the sugar, not beginning with the heteroatom as it would be in the heterocyclic nomenclature. These structural names are incorporated into the systematic names of sugars. 

We first describe how the parameters relevant to polymer-on-metal interfaces are derived from a UPS spectrum. In Figure 21.11, the full UPS spectra of both a gold substrate and a polymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) overlayer on a gold substrate are shown. The nomenclature and structure of the diagrams are now standard, and follow that of Seld and coworkers, and Kahn and coworkers [72,75-77]. Note that the UPS spectrum of a sputter-cleaned gold sample is shown, for which the work function is considerably higher compared to gold that is kept in the air, with adsorbed hydrocarbon contamination. 

These data indicate more clearly the problems theoretical methods (TDDFT in this case) have in accovmting for the change of electronic structure upon excitation. For the ionic La states of the aromatic compounds (using Platts nomenclature derived from the perimeter model, see. Ref. 9 e.g.) and the 1B state of the polyene, a systematic underestimation of the excitation energies is observed while the opposite is true for the other more covalent states that exhibit stronger multiconfigurational character (for a more detailed discussion of these problems see Refs. 35 and 36). 

The hydroperoxidation of unsaturated fatty acids performed by lipoxygenases is an important process involved in pathways leading to the inflammatory response. The lipoxygenase nomenclature derives from their positional specificity with respect to arachidonic acid substrates in mammalian organisms. The well studied plant Hpoxygenase-1 from soybeans is, in this respect, a 15-lipoxygenase. Crystal structure data for the inactive Fe(II) form in soybeans... 

Complications arising from other types of isomerism. Positional and geometrical isomerism, also described in Sec. 1.6, will be excluded for simplicity. In actual polymers these are not always so easily ignored. Polymerization of 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes. Since these introduce two different asymmetric carbons into the polymer backbone (second substituent Y), they have the potential to display ditacticity. Our attention to these is limited to the illustration of some terminology which is derived from carbohydrate nomenclature (structures [IX]-[XII]) ... 

Present-day nomenclature is partly the result of the conflict and interplay of two functions the need to communicate in speech and on the printed page on the one hand, and the need for archival storage of information and its efficient, reliable retrieval. The former function came first, and laid the basis for the nomenclature most commonly used even today, and gave birth to a wealth of trivial names (i.e. names that give little or no information on structure). These were often coined on the basis of the origin of the substance, as in the case of collidine, obtained from distillation of bones in glue factories, or were derived from a special characteristic, as in the case of skatole, which has a fecal odor. Such names are short and generally euphonious, but they must be memorized they cannot be deduced from the structure. 

According to the triazine nomenclature, 5-azauracil is 2,4-dioxo-l,2,3,4-tetrahydro-l,3,5-triazine (2). The subject index of Chemical Abstracts prefers s-triazine-2,4(lH,3H)-dione. Furthermore, some authors use a name derived from the lactim structure, 2,4-dihydroxy-s-triazine (3). The numbering of the substituents is the same for all these types of nomenclature. 

Chlorophyll a, the green photosynthesis pigment, is the prototype of the chlorin (2,3-dihydro-porphyrin) class of products. It was first isolated by Willstatter1 at the turn of the century. The common structural unit in this class is the chlorin framework named after chlorophyll. The chromophore with a partially saturated pyrrole ring, which is formally derived from the completely unsaturated porphyrin, is less symmetric than the latter and systematically named according to IUPAC nomenclature as 2,3-dihydroporphyrin. 

The bacterioehlorin structural-type is formally derived from porphyrin by saturation of two peripheral C —C double bonds in oppposite pyrrole rings and therefore systematically named according to IUPAC nomenclature as 7,8,17,18-tetrahydroporphyrin. 

From these stractural features it is interesting to note that each molecule of chlorophylls a and b consists of a hydrophilic part (tetrapyrrole macrocycle) and a hydrophobic portion (long terpenoid chain of phytol esterifying the acid group at C-17). Figure 2.1.2 shows the structures and nomenclature of chlorophylls a and b and their major breakdown derivatives. 

It was earlier considered that all the amino acid-activating synthetases were derived from a single primeval synthetase , so that all synthetases would have similar structures. Surprisingly, however, this is not the case. When the primary sequences, and in part the secondary and tertiary structures, of all the synthetases had been determined, clear differences in their construction became obvious. The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases consist either of one single polypeptide chain (a) or of two or four identical polypeptides (ot2 or 04). In addition, there are heterogeneously constructed species with two sets of two identical polypeptide chains (OC2P2). This nomenclature indicates that, for each synthetase, a or P refers to a primary structure. The number of amino acids can vary from 334 to more than 1,000. 

The formation of a systematic name for a polymer requires the identification and naming of a preferred constitutional repeating unit (CRU). This basic name is then modified by prefixes, which convey precisely the structural identity of the polymer in question. Such names are referred to as structure-based names. However, polymers can also be named as being derived from a monomer (or precursors), named according to lUPAC rules. Such names are referred to as source-based names. Over the years, rules for determining polymer nomenclature under these two systems have developed in parallel. An example of the modification of the lUPAC name of an organic molecule to lUPAC structure-based and source-based names of a polymer is illustrated below. 

The first publication of the lUPAC in the area of macromolecular nomenclature was in 1952 by the Sub-commission on Nomenclature of the then lUPAC Commission on Macromolecules, which drew on the talents of such remarkable individuals as J. J. Hermans, M. L. Huggins, O. Kratky, and H. F. Mark. That report [1] was a landmark in that, for the first time, it systematized the naming of macromolecules and certain symbols and terms commonly used in polymer science. It introduced the use of parentheses in source-based polymer names when the monomer from which the polymer is derived consists of more than one word, a practice that is now widely followed, and it recommended an entirely new way of naming polymers based on their structure that included the suffix amer , a recommendation that has been almost totally ignored. After ten years, the Sub-commission issued its second report [2], which dealt with the then-burgeoning field of stereoregular polymers. A revision [3] of definitions in the original report appeared four years later. In 1968, a summary report [4] of the activities of the Subcommission was published.
