Naming
the Elements
'Naming of new elements' is the subject of a recent
recommendation published in Pure
Appl. Chem.
74(5), pp. 787-791, 2002.
For a brief review on the synthesis and naming of elements 110 and
beyond, by H. Kaesz ; see Chem.
Int.
2002, 24(2), p. 7
The latest reports and recommendations related to the
naming of elements are:
- 'On the claims for discovery of elements 110, 111, 112, 114, 116,
and 118', Pure
Appl. Chem. 75(10),
1601-1611, 2003
(This technical report by IUPAC/IUPAP joint working party is a review
of the relevant literature pertaining to the several claims);
- 'Name and symbol of element of atomic number 110', Pure
Appl. Chem. 75(10),
1613-1615, 2003
See press release
and Q&A about Ds
- 'Name and symbol of the element with atomic number 111', Pure
Appl. Chem.
76(12), 2101-2103, 2004
See press release
Other recent documents include:
- 'On the discovery of the elements 110-112', Pure
Appl. Chem. 73(6), pp. 959-967, 2001;
- 'Names and symbols of transfermium elements', Pure
Appl. Chem.
69(12), pp. 2471-2473, 1997
(This document presents the revised recommendations for the names and
symbols of the transfermium elements (atomic numbers 101-109), along
with the reasons for proposing them);
- 'Criteria that must be satified for the discovery of the new chemical
element to be recognized', Pure
Appl. Chem., 63(6),
pp. 879-886, 1991.
