Nomenclature and Terminology Problems of Modern Coordination Chemistry

Аннотация

A brief analysis of the existing definitions of the term “coordination compound” has been carried out and a definition that takes into account the features of this class of chemical compounds has been proposed. The existing systematic IUPAC nomenclature of coordination compounds and its possible use for constructing the names of metal complexes of different types, as well as difficulties associated with this process have been considered.
