Recommended Procedure For Naming Mononuclear Compounds
The recommendations include a flow chart which can be summarised very briefly:
- identify the central atom,
- identify and name the ligands,
- specify coordination mode of ligands i.e. using kappa and/or eta conventions
- sequence the ligands
- specify coordination geometry i.e polyhedral symbol,configuration index (using CIP rules and absolute configuration for optically active compounds.

Famous quotes containing the words recommended, naming and/or compounds:
“There is not a greater paradox in nature,—than that so good a religion [as Christianity] should be no better recommended by its professors.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“The night is itself sleep
And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
