Hi Alison,
I have never used PubChem - I tend to use ChEBI - but reading around it seems a
highly respected standard and I can find no valid argument against its use.
Cheers, Roy.
I have now retired but will continue to be active through an Emeritus

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
