Constructing a substitutive name generally involves the replacement of hydrogen atoms in a parent structure with other atoms or atom groups. Related operations, often considered to be part of substitutive nomenclature, are skeletal replacement (Section IR-6.2.4.1) and functional replacement in oxoacid parents (Section IR-8.6). Note that some operations in parent hydride-based nomenclature are not substitutive operations (e.g. formation of cations and anions by addition of H+ and H, respectively, cf. Sections IR-6.4.1 and IR-6.4.5). Names formed by the modifications of parent hydride names described in those sections are still considered part of substitutive nomenclature. 

Sometimes it may be necessary or preferable to consider a parent hydride in which several (four or more) skeletal carbon atoms of a hydrocarbon have been replaced by main group elements. In this method of skeletal replacement the heteroatoms are designated by the a terms of replacement nomenclature (Table X) cited in the order given by Table VI and preceded by the appropriate locant(s). The rules for locant numbering are specified in Section IR-6.2.4.1 and this nomenclature is fully described in Sections P-21.2 and P-22.2 of Ref. 3. 

Substitutive nomenclature is a system in which names are based on the names of parent hydrides, which define a standard population of hydrogen atoms attached to a skeletal structure. Names of derivatives of the parent hydrides are formed by citing prefixes or suffixes appropriate to the substituent groups (or substituents) replacing the hydrogen atoms (preceded by locants when required), joined without a break to the name of the unsubstituted parent hydride.
