This second edition of IUPAC's 'gold' book represents a very substantial
enhancement of the first. In the ten years since the first edition was
published, IUPAC has revised and updated most of the original definitions,
and produced new glossaries of terms in many areas of chemistry not
previously covered. These include stereochemistry, photochemistry, organic
class names, atmospheric chemistry, catalysis, biotechnology, chromatography,
toxicology and bioanalytical chemistry. The resulting compendium, like
the first edition, contains only definitions approved by international
consensus and thus can be regarded as truly authoritative.
* the definitive guide to chemical terminology, now significantly updated
