Ellen Gleditsch: Woman Chemist in IUPAC’s Early History

Abstract In 1907, a 28-year-old Norwegian pharmacist-chemist arrived in Paris to work with Marie Curie at the Radium Institute. Like many women at the time, Ellen Gleditsch was attracted to the newly discovered phenomenon of radioactivity and wished take part in exciting scientific endeavour. Working with the Nobel Laureate Marie Curie was a unique opportunity for the ambitious young chemist, whose skills in mineral analyses led to her being accepted into the otherwise fully staffed laboratory. By all accounts, Ellen Gleditsch appears to have been one of the first women associated with IUPAC. In 1921 she was the Norwegian representative of the committee working on the Tables Annuelles de Constantes et Données Numériques de Chimie, de Physique et de Technologie [1], published under the auspices of IUPAC with the agreement of the International Research Council. In the following year she was a member of the Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry during its meeting in Lyon [2]. In 1947 Gleditsch became a full member of the Joint Commission of Standards and Units of Radioactivity, joining her friends Frédéric and Irène Joliot-Curie in this capacity, and all three continued to be members until the Commission’s dissolution in 1955 [3]. IUPAC was the mother union of this Joint Commission, and directly linked with International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU).

The past, present, and future in the nomenclature and structure representation of inorganic compounds.

This review examines the origins and development of the compositional nomenclature and additive nomenclature that have been at the heart of formal descriptions of inorganic compounds since the times of Lavoisier and Werner, respectively. The rising importance of structural diagrams is noted, explained and correlated with a decreasing use of formal nomenclature. The future of structure representation is discussed, particularly in relation to cheminformatics and big data. International variations in nomenclature are discussed with reference to the recently published Brief Guide to the Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry and its translations, and implications of increasing internationalisation of chemistry for the integrity of regional languages are discussed.

ХІМІЧНА ТЕРМІНОЛОГІЯ ТА НОМЕНКЛАТУРА КООРДИНАЦІЙНОЇ ХІМІЇ

Ukrainian chemical terminology is one of the most advanced in the world, due to the rapid development after the rise of independence and it basing on the latest developments of IUPAC terminology and nomenclature. First of all, it is owed to the fundamental principles developed by our predecessors, who, in the difficult times of Soviet power, overcoming the impenetrable walls of imperial resistance, nevertheless tried to promote the development of chemical terminology in the course of time, and sometimes ahead of the advanced international and national terminology of others, even free countries. The orientation on the international terminology standards was chosen to build a new Ukrainian terminology and nomenclature at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry of Shevchenko University of Kyiv in the 50's – 70's of the 20th century The basic requirements for the terminology and nomenclature of inorganic chemistry were formulated, which can be used as a guide for the development of Ukrainian chemical terminology and nomenclature nowadays: 1.Chemical terms should correspond to the modern meaning. 2. The nomenclature of inorganic compounds and elements should be consistent with the foundations of inorganic chemistry. 3. The nomenclature should be developed in close connection with the systematics of chemical elements and compounds. 4. The new Ukrainian nomenclature in inorganic chemistry should be based on the international nomenclature. 5. When creating a new nomenclature it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the Ukrainian language. 6. The nomenclature should be rational and give unambiguous names of chemical compounds. 7. The transfer of terms and names from other languages should be created according to the phonetic principle and transcribed from the original language. The most important principles of Ukrainian chemical terminology and nomenclature of coordination chemistry have been discussed, examples of the possibilities of adaptation of the IUPAC nomenclature rules on the basis of the Ukrainian language have been demonstrated.

Specificities and origins of the Slovak nomenclature of inorganic chemistry

Nowadays the discussion on the symbiosis of the international and national nomenclature systems in different areas of science provides clear evidences that full implementation of conventional international (mainly English) nomenclature principles in the local ones is sometimes not only unnecessary, but even redundant or impossible. Rapid development of natural sciences necessitates creation of accurate, comprehensive and comprehensible nomenclature systems for objects and phenomena under research. This study outlines the origins and development of the Slovak chemical nomenclature which is based on the Czech model. We analyze the unique Slovak nomenclature items as well as the re-evaluation of linguistic means in the field of inorganic chemistry in the international context. A part of this work is devoted to the syntactical structure of the names of inorganic compounds. At the same time we draw a parallel between chemical nomenclature and the phenomenon of controlled language.

Nomenclature of Organometallic Compounds of the Transition Elements (IUPAC Recommendations 1999)

Organometallic compounds are defined as containing at least one metal-carbon bond between an organic molecule, ion, or radical and a metal. Organometallic nomenclature therefore usually combines the nomenclature of organic chemisty and that of coordination chemistry. Provisional rules outlining nomenclature for such compounds are found both in Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, 1979 and in Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, 1990This document describes the nomenclature for organometallic compounds of the transition elements, that is compounds with metal-carbon single bonds, metal-carbon multiple bonds as well as complexes with unsaturated molecules (metal-p-complexes).Organometallic compounds are considered to be produced by addition reactions and so they are named on an addition principle. The name therefore is built around the central metal atom name. Organic ligand names are derived according to the rules of organic chemistry with appropriate endings to indicate the different bonding modes. To designate the points of attachment of ligands in more complicated structures, the h, k, and m-notations are used. The final section deals with the abbreviated nomenclature for metallocenes and their derivatives.ContentsIntroduction Systems of Nomenclature2.1 Binary type nomenclature 2.2 Substitutive nomenlcature 2.3 Coordination nomenclature Coordination Nomenclature3.1 General definitions of coordination chemistry 3.2 Oxidation numbers and net charges 3.3 Formulae and names for coordination compounds Nomenclature for Organometallic Compounds of Transition Metals 4.1 Valence-electron-numbers and the 18-valence-electron-rule 4.2 Ligand names 4.2.1 Ligands coordinating by one metal-carbon single bond 4.2.2 Ligands coordinating by several metal-carbon single bonds 4.2.3 Ligands coordinating by metal-carbon multiple bonds 4.2.4 Complexes with unsaturated molecules or groups 4.3 Metallocene nomenclature

New compromise offered on heavy-element names

You win some, you lose some. Seaborgium is now in, but hahnium is out. That's the latest, but not the last, word from the International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), which last week released a revised list of proposed names for some of the heaviest known elements. The organization is still trying to work out a compromise between its original slate of proposed names and one put forth by the American Chemical Society. In 1995, IUPAC, faced with these two competing slates plus a compromise slate, invited suggestions and comments from the chemistry community worldwide (C&EN, Aug. 21, 1995, page 4). After considering those suggestions, IUPAC's Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry (CMC) has put together a revised slate that differs considerably from the controversial one it initially proposed in August 1994. CNIC's revised list bows to the ACS slate by labeling element 104 rutherfordium, 106 seaborgium, and 108 hassium. But 105, for ...

Names and symbols of transfermium elements (IUPAC Recommendations 1997)

The recommendations (ref. 1) of the Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry (CNIC) on the nomenclature of the transfermium elements (101-109, inclusive) were considered by the IUPAC Bureau at Guildford (UK) in September 1995. As a result of the various criticisms of the recommendations and theway that they had been processed, the Bureau decided to adopt the recommendations as provisional and to circulate them to national/regional nomenclature centres in the normal way, with notices to be published innational/regional chemistry journals and magazines, requesting submission of comments to CNIC. In particular, the National Adhering Organizations (NAOs) were invited to express their views concerning the extant proposals for the names of these elements and the principles and traditions used to derive them. The response from the general chemical community was small, and the bulk of the replies came from nuclear scientists.

Nomenclature saga heralds difficult times for IUPAC

Next month, the International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry will hold its 38th general assembly at the University of Surrey in Guildford, England. Some 700 chemists from about 45 countries will gather for a complex schedule of meetings of IUPAC's multifarious bodies. The program will include the annual meeting of the IUPAC Bureau, the union's highest authority below its council. Among the items on the agenda will be the Executive Committee's proposal to reconsider the adoption of names for transfermium elements 101 to 109 that were recommended by the Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry (CNIC) at the bureau meeting in Antwerp, Belgium, in September 1994 (C&EN, May 8, page 7). These names differed significantly from what the U.S. chemical community had expected and led to controversy and confusion. For example, element 104 is currently listed in different publications as rutherfordium, kurchatovium, unnilquadium, and dubnium. The bureau most likely will decide that the names ...

HEAVY-ELEMENT NOMENCLATURE ACS panel rejects names chosen by IUPAC

An American Chemical Society committee has thrown down the gauntlet, rejecting the names for elements 104 to 108 reccommended by the International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The ACS Committee on Nomenclature, meeting last week in Columbus, Ohio, voted unanimously to rally around the name seaborgium for element 106. It also voted unanimously to reaffirm its earlier support for the following names: rutherfordium (104), hahnium (105), nielsbohrium (107), hassium (108), and meitnerium (109). Those six names were proposed by U.S. or German groups who claim discovery of the elements. The ACS committee's action, which carries no official international weight, puts it at loggerheads with IUPAC, which has attempted—sometimes unsuccessfully—to be the final arbiter of element names and symbols. IUPACs 20-member Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry (CNIC) voted on Aug. 31 to recommend a different slate of names, angering members of the U.S. and German heavy-element communities (C&EN, Se...

Nomenclature of Inorganic Chain and Ring Compounds

Abstract A new, additive approach to name inorganic chain and ring compounds is described. It will shortly be introduced by the IUPAC Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry and will eventually form a chapter in “Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, Part II”.

IUPAC book updates rules for naming inorganics

of Inorganic published this year by Blackwell Scientific Publications for the International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry, isn't so much a revision of previous books on the subject. Rather, it is an entirely new work in its own right, says G. Jeffery Leigh, its editor. More usually referred to in IUPAC circles as the Red Book because of the distinctive color of its cover, the 300-page work, with more than 230 illustrations, sets out internationally agreed upon rules for naming various types of inorganic compounds. It is the culmination of 15 years of effort by experts in the field working within the Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry (CNIC), an arm of IUPAC's inorganic chemistry division. The earliest set of rules for naming inorganic compounds appeared in 1940 in IUPAC's publication, Pure & Applied Chemistry. It wasn't until 1957 that the first book on the subject appeared. The text in both English ...

Periodic Table: IUPAC Guidebook To Include New Labeling

In an effort to both publish its long overdue guidebook to nomenclature and calm the waters on the question of how to label the columns of the periodic table, the International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry's commission on the nomenclature of inorganic chemistry has come up with a compromise. The commission will publish its guidebook—widely known as the Red Book—early in 1988 using the Arabic numbers 1 to 18 to label the columns. But the commission will make clear that these labels, like all its nomenclature guidelines, are only recommendations and it will add an appendix to the book showing several other forms of the periodic table that also are widely used. We have to do something right now for our own publication, but the issue is not closed, explains Daryle H. Busch, professor of chemistry at Ohio State University and chairman of the IUPAC commission. Indeed it isn't. Judging from the ...
