Remarks on Nomenclature

Van Rysselberghe, J. Chem. Educ. 41 (1964) 486 see also Thermodynamics of Irreversible Electrochemical Processes, pp. 743-747, and Remarks on Nomenclature, pp. 859-861, in The Encyclopedia of Electrochemistry, Ed Hampel, Reinhold Publishing Corp., New York, 1964. 

In the remainder of this chapter, we will concentrate, after a few short remarks on some aspects of nomenclature, on the description of syntheses, physical properties, bonding situation, and chemical reactivity of NHP derivatives of the types ID-VIL... 

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.

When the variables cannot be separated in a satisfactory manner, special artifices must be adopted. We shall find it the simplest plan to adopt the routine method of referring each artifioe to the particular class of equation which it is best calculated to solve. These special devices are sometimes far neater and quicker processes of solution than the method just described. We shall follow the conventional x and y rather more closely than in the earlier part of this work. The reader will know, by this time, that his x and y s, his p and i/s and his s and t s are not to be kept in water-tight compartments . It is perhaps necessary to make a few general remarks on the nomenclature. 

Nano-structures comments on an example of extreme microstructure In a chapter entitled Materials in Extreme States , Cahn (2001) dedicated several comments to the extreme microstructures and summed up principles and technology of nano-structured materials. Historical remarks were cited starting from the early recognition that working at the nano-scale is truly different from traditional material science. The chemical behaviour and electronic structure change when dimensions are comparable to the length scale of electronic wave functions. Quantum effects do become important at this scale, as predicted by Lifshitz and Kosevich (1953). As for their nomenclature, notice that a piece of semiconductor which is very small in one, two- or three-dimensions, that is a confined structure, is called a quantum well, a quantum wire or a quantum dot, respectively. 

A remarkable reaction of the phospho group is its transfer onto carbon in the biosynthesis of the C—P bond (Fig. 6). Incidentally, this leads to a difficulty with nomenclature, because the group -P03H2, which is known to chemists as phosphono, is called phospho only when on a heteroatom (64), so the transfer changes its name Despite much ealier guessing from labeling patterns that phosphoenolpyruvate was the source of the C—P bond, it was only in 1988 (65, 66) that the enzyme responsible was isolated. The difficulty proved to be that the equilibrium favors phosphoenolpyruvate by about 2000-fold (67), so that assays only detected the enzyme in the direction contrary to biosynthesis evidently the biosynthesis takes place because subsequent reac-...
