Purbrick and Edward S. Wilks A concise guide to polymer nomenclature for authors of papers and reports in polymer science and technology (IUPAC Technical Report) https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2018-0602 Received June 18, 2018; accepted March 27, 2019 Abstract: This brief Technical Report summarizes the key points on the nomenclature of macromolecules and polymers. Keywords: polymer nomenclature; source-based nomenclature; structure-based nomenclature. 1 International union of pure and applied chemistry (IUPAC) recommendations It is the goal of the IUPAC Polymer Division and the IUPAC Division of Chemical Nomenclature and Struc- ture Representation to improve communication between polymer scientists and chemists and scientists in general by recommending unambiguous, standardized, and universally understood names and structure representations of polymers. The following is a concise guide to polymer nomenclature based on official IUPAC recommendations. The main points carry hyperlinks to the source documents. The colours of the hyperlinks correspond to the colours of the IUPAC books, i.e. gold for the Gold Book, purple for the Purple Book (polymers), blue for the Blue Book (organic chemistry), etc. A more detailed treatment can be found in the Purple Book [1]: a two-page Brief Guide is also available on-line [2]. Article note: Sponsoring body: IUPAC Polymer Division: see more details on page 812.

  • Transformer-Based Artificial Neural Networks for the Conversion
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Transformer‑based artifcial neural networks for the conversion between chemical notations Lev Krasnov1,2,3, Ivan Khokhlov2, Maxim V. Fedorov1,2 & Sergey Sosnin1,2* We developed a Transformer‑based artifcial neural approach to translate between SMILES and IUPAC chemical notations: Struct2IUPAC and IUPAC2Struct. The overall performance level of our model is comparable to the rule‑based solutions. We proved that the accuracy and speed of computations as well as the robustness of the model allow to use it in production. Our showcase demonstrates that a neural‑based solution can facilitate rapid development keeping the required level of accuracy. We believe that our fndings will inspire other developers to reduce development costs by replacing complex rule‑based solutions with neural‑based ones. Before the Information Age, chemical names were a universal language for description of chemical structures. At the infancy stage of organic chemistry, there were no common rules for the naming of chemical compounds. However, the extensive growth of the explored part of chemical space in the XIX century motivated chemists to make eforts to harmonize chemical naming globally. In 1919 International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) was founded, and this non-commercial organization still leads the development of chemical nomen- clature. IUPAC publishes the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, commonly known as the “Blue Book.”1 Te “Blue Book” provides guidelines on the unambiguous names for chemical compounds. Nowadays there are several alternative representations for organic structures. For example, Simplifed Molecu- lar Input Line Entry System (SMILES) was designed to provide convenience for both human-based and com- puter-based processing of chemical information.

  • Consensus Nomenclature Rules for Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry – Setting the Record Straight – (30Th April 2017)
    Consensus nomenclature rules for radiopharmaceutical chemistry – setting the record straight – (30th April 2017) These recommended guidelines were assembled by an international and inter-society working group after widespread consultation with peers in the wider field of nuclear chemistry and radiopharmaceutical sciences. Working group: Michael Adam (Canada), Gunnar Antoni (Sweden), Heinz H. Coenen (Germany) (chair), Cathy S. Cutler (United States of America), Yasuhisa Fujibayashi (Japan), Antony D. Gee (United Kingdom) (co-chair), Jae Min Jeong (South Korea), Robert H. Mach (United States of America), Tom Mindt (Austria), Victor W. Pike (United States of America) and Albert Windhorst (The Netherlands) Contents page Preface 2 Scientific concepts, definitions, IUPAC rules and SI-derived units 3 Measurement of radioactive decay 3 Specific activity and molar activity 4 Apparent and effective specific activity resp. molar activity 4 ‘No-carrier-added’, ‘carrier-free’ and ‘carrier added’ 5 Radionuclide and radioisotope descriptors 5 Radiochemical yield (RCY) 8 Definition of radiochemical yield (RCY) 8 Definition of activity yield (AY) 10 Definitions of purity 10 Physical units 11 Acknowledgements 12 Appendix 12 A) Some Definitions from IUPAC Nomenclature Documents 12 B) Definitions and Units of Radiological Quantities 14 1 Preface The primary function of nomenclature is to ensure that spoken or written scientific terms and concepts leave no ambiguity in their interpretation. The ultimate intent of generating consensus nomenclature is therefore to create common conventions for terms and definitions, enabling effective and unambiguous communication and understanding within a scientific community. In order to achieve these goals, the international natural science community agreed to abide by and adopt the use of SI-derived units (1960) and IUPAC rules for chemistry (1921) (SI - International System of Units; IUPAC - International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry).
