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:
“Yet, if the pupil be of a texture to bear it, the best university that can be recommended to a man of ideas is the gauntlet of the mobs.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Husband,
who am I to reject the naming of foods
in a time of famine?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“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)
