Re: [CF-metadata] New halocarbon standard name requests

Dear Roy,

Thanks for looking into the use of PubChem as a suitable reference source for 
IUPAC chemical names. I had a quick look at ChEBI but found that it didn't 
produce straightforward search results for some of the chemical species in the 
list. For example, ChEBI returned results for 'chloro(difluoro)methane' but not 
for 'hcfc22', so PubChem seems a bit easier to use for standard names.

As no further comments have been received in this thread, the following 
modifications to standard name definitions are now accepted. They will be added 
in the May update.

limonene: current definition '1-methyl-4-prop-1-en-2-yl-cyclohexene' will be 
corrected to '1-methyl-4-prop-1-en-2-ylcyclohexene'. (Affects 8 existing names).
isoprene: current definition '2-methyl-buta-1,3-diene' will be corrected to 
'2-methylbuta-1,3-diene'. (Affects 10 existing names).
hcfc22: current definition 'chloro-difluoro-methane' will be corrected to 
'chloro(difluoro)methane'. (Affects 9 existing names).
hcc140a: current definition '1,1,1-trichloro-ethane' will be corrected to 
'1,1,1-trichloroethane'. (Affects 10 existing names)
halon2402: current definition '1,2-dibromo-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-ethane' will be 
corrected to '1,2-dibromo-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane'. (Affects 8 existing 
names).
halon1301: current definition 'bromo-trifluoro-methane' will be corrected to 
'bromo(trifluoro)methane'. (Affects 8 existing names).
halon1211: current definition 'bromo-chloro-difluoro-methane' will be corrected 
to 'bromo-chloro-difluoromethane'. (Affects 8 existing names).
halon1202: current definition 'dibromo-difluoro-methane' will be corrected to 
'dibromo(difluoro)methane'. (Affects 8 existing names).
cfc12: current definition 'dichloro-difluoro-methane' will be corrected to 
'dichloro(difluoro)methane'. (Affects 11 existing names).
cfc115: current definition '1-chloro-1,1,2,2,2-pentafluoro-ethane' will be 
corrected to '1-chloro-1,1,2,2,2-pentafluoroethane'. (Affects 8 existing names).
cfc114: current definition '1,2-dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-ethane' will be 
corrected to '1,2-dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane'. (Affects 8 existing 
names).
cfc113a: current definition '1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethane' will be 
corrected to '1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane.' (Affects 8 existing 
names).
cfc113: current definition '1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoro-ethane' will be 
corrected to '1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane'. (Affects 8 existing

cfc11: current definition 'trichloro-fluoro-methane' will be corrected to 
'trichloro(fluoro)methane'. (Affects 11 existing names).

Dear Dan, Roy and Jonathan,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to this discussion. I agree completely 
that the IUPAC names need to be accurate to facilitate searching of names and 
definitions. I'm in favour of getting rid of superfluous hyphens as Roy 
suggests e.g., 1,1,1-trichloro-ethane becomes 1,1,1-trichloroethane.

I used PubChem (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) to produce the following 
list of changes to existing standard name definitions. Interestingly, this 
suggests we should remove hyphens but add brackets in some cases (hcfc22 for 
example) while others seem to include hyphens where we might not expect them, 
e.g. halon1211.

Just to be crystal clear there should be one hyphen in the full IUPAC name 
1,1,1-trichloroethane - it's the second hyphen between trichloro and ethane 
that's the issue.

Dear Dan and Roy,

Thank you Dan for proposing these six new names and to Roy for the careful 
checking.

Roy is correct that mole_fraction_of_carbon_tetrachloride_in_air already exists 
in the standard name table. In fact we have eight existing carbon_tetrachloride 
quantities but only one of them 
(tendency_of_atmosphere_moles_of_carbon_tetrachloride) mentions the IUPAC name, 
tetrachloromethane, in its definition. Although we don't need a new name, I 
will update the existing ones to add the IUPAC information to the definitions.

The proposed name mole_fraction_of_methyl_chloroform_in_air doesn't currently 
exist in the standard name table. However, we do have the name 
mole_fraction_of_hcc140a_in_air defined as :
' "Mole fraction" is used in the construction "mole_fraction_of_X_in_Y", where 
X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species denoted by X 
may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as 
"nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The chemical formula for hcc140a is CH3CCl3. The 
IUPAC name for hcc140a is 1,1,1-trichloro-ethane.'
This appears to be the same chemical species so I don't think we need a new 
name for this one.  We have ten existing hcc140a names and if it is also 
commonly referred to as methyl chloroform I suggest we add that to the 
definitions as follows:
' "Mole fraction" is used in the construction "mole_fraction_of_X_in_Y", where 
X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species denoted by X 
may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as 
"nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The chemical formula for hcc140a, also called 
methyl chloroform, is CH3CCl3. The IUPAC name for hcc140a is 
1,1,1-trichloro-ethane.'
Do others agree?

accepted for publication in the standard name table and will be included in 
this week's update:

IUPAC name for hcc140a is 1,1,1-trichloro-ethane.'
This appears to be the same chemical species so I don't think we need a new 
name for this one.  We have ten existing hcc140a names and if it is also 
commonly referred to as methyl chloroform I suggest we add that to the 
definitions as follows:
' "Mole fraction" is used in the construction "mole_fraction_of_X_in_Y", where 
X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species denoted by X 
may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as 
"nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The chemical formula for hcc140a, also called 
methyl chloroform, is CH3CCl3. The IUPAC name for hcc140a is 
1,1,1-trichloro-ethane.'
Do others agree?

To summarize where we are with this set of proposals, the following are 
accepted for publication in the standard name table and will be included in 
this week's update:
'mole_fraction_of_dichloromethane_in_air (Canonical unit: 1)
Definition: 'Mole fraction is used in the construction mole_fraction_of_X_in_Y, 
where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species 
denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase 
such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The chemical formula for dichloromethane 
is CH2Cl2. The IUPAC name is dichloromethane.'

mole_fraction_of_chloroform_in_air (Canonical unit: 1)
Definition: 'Mole fraction is used in the construction mole_fraction_of_X_in_Y, 
where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species 
denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase 
such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The chemical formula for chloroform is 
CHCl3. The IUPAC name for chloroform is trichloromethane.'

mole_fraction_of_perchloroethene_in_air (Canonical unit: 1)
Definition: 'Mole fraction is used in the construction mole_fraction_of_X_in_Y, 
where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species 
denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase 
such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The chemical formula for perchloroethene 
is CCl2CCl2. The IUPAC name for perchloroethene is tetrachloroethene.'

mole_fraction_of_pfc218_in_air (Canonical unit: 1)
Definition: 'Mole fraction is used in the construction mole_fraction_of_X_in_Y, 
where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species 
denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase 
such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The chemical formula for pfc218 is C3F8. 
The IUPAC name for pfc218 is octafluoropropane.'

The definitions of all existing carbon_tetrachloride names will be updated to 
add the IUPAC name of tetrachloromethane.

The following proposals for new names are rejected because they are duplicates 
of existing names:
mole_fraction_of_carbon_tetrachloride_in_air;
mole_fraction_of_methyl_chloroform_in_air (it is proposed to update the 
definitions of existing hcc140a names to list methyl chloroform as a commonly 
used name for the same species).

Best wishes,
Alison

Hi again,

After bumping into one accidental duplicate, I thought I'd better check the 
first part of your submission more carefully and found 
'mole_fraction_of_carbon_tetrachloride_in_air' 
(http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P07/current/CFV8N16/) already exists, which 
I missed first time around.
