这是对药物或有机化学家可能处理的主要分子类别的命名规则的非常好的、简短的讨论。大多数规则都给出了各种示例，因此相对容易学习在不同情况下应用规则。许多此类术语问题并不总是被很好地记住或可能尚未学习（对于学生而言）。本书首先讨论公式的使用和表示，然后考虑有机、无机和有机金属化合物的复杂命名法。如此简洁的书省略了对某些类型化合物的介绍。虽然这些遗漏并不总是微不足道的，但在这样的简短指南中可能不可能涵盖所有类型的化合物。读者可以阅读几本深入的书籍，以获得更完整的命名指南。虽然我没有发现任何错误，但有几个方面可能会让美国读者感到困惑。例如，LithAl（对我来说）是一个不熟悉的英国氢化铝锂的缩写。这本书的真正优点之一是离子、基团、配体和配体缩写的名称表。离子和基团名称表（表 4.1）包含 14 页的各种常用名称和 IUPAC 名称。对于大多数有机化学家来说，记住无机化合物配体的缩写并不总是第二天性，本书包含了此类缩写的有用汇编。表 4.5 中的一个小错误是将 Bzl 列为苄基 (PhCH2) 的缩写。大多数期刊使用 Bn 表示苄基，使用 Bz 表示苯甲酰基。
This is a very nice, brief discussion of the rules of nomenclature for the major classes of molecules with which the medicinal or organic chemist may deal. A variety of examples are given for most of the rules, such that it is relatively easy to learn to apply the rules in different situations. Many of these types of nomenclature questions are not always well-remembered or perhaps not yet learned (in the case of students). The book begins with discussion of the use and representation of formulas and progresses to consideration of complex nomenclature of organic, inorganic, and organometallic compounds. A book of this brevity omits coverage of some types of compounds. While these omissions are not always insignificant, it is probably impossible to cover all types of compounds in a brief guide such as this. The reader is directed to several indepth volumes for a more complete guide to nomenclature.While I noticed no errors, there are a few aspects that American readers may find confusing. For example, LithAl is (to me) an unfamiliar British acronym for lithium aluminum hydride. One of the real plusses of the book is the tables of names of ions, groups, ligands, and ligand abbreviations. The table of names of ions and groups (Table 4.1) comprises 14 pages of the various common and IUPAC names. For most organic chemists, remembering the abbreviations of ligands for inorganic compounds is not always second nature, and this book contains a helpful compilation of such abbreviations. One minor error in Table 4.5 is the listing of Bzl as an abbreviation for benzyl (PhCH2). Most journals use Bn for benzyl and Bz for benzoyl.
