Polycyclic parent hydrides. These are classified as bridged polyalkanes (also known as von Baeyer bridged systems, from the nomenclature system developed to name them), spiro compounds, fused polycyclic systems and assemblies of identical rings. The four systems may be either carbocyclic or heterocyclic. In developing their names, the following principles are used.
