hypervalent_iodine Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 If SFN has a character limit for its posts, I'm 99% sure it is something around the region of 'smaller than the IUPAC guidelines'. There are simplified versions for organic chemistry that you find taught in lower level courses or in highschool, but all of the stipulations combined amount to quite a hefty amount of information to be copying into a thread post. There is this website, I forget its name...Gaggle? Giggle? I don't know. Anyway, there are four books: the blue book (organic), the purple book (macromolecular), the orange book (analytical) and some nondescript one for biochemistry. There is also a series of E-resources, published by IUPAC, which contain a whole wealth of information. This is the link for the organic chemistry nomenclature guidelines; however if this is for lower level learning, wikipedia might be a better place to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
