G.P. Moss of Queen Mary University of London compiled a glossary of important and widely-used stereochemical terms. It extends definitions from IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry (1974) and includes terms from the Glossary of Terms used in Physical Organic Chemistry (1994), with additions from inorganic and macromolecular chemistry. The glossary also notes misleading terms and provides guidance on correct usage.
Use Cases
- Reference lookup for stereochemical terms based on the glossary content
- Teaching and learning stereochemistry concepts based on the compiled terminology
- Standardizing chemical nomenclature in research based on IUPAC recommendations
- Identifying and correcting misleading terminology based on the included guidance
Strengths
- Compiled by an author affiliated with Queen Mary University of London
- Extends authoritative IUPAC recommendations from 1974 and 1994
- Includes terms from inorganic and macromolecular chemistry beyond the original organic scope
- Provides guidance on correct usage for misleading terms
