The Chemical Elements

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 [doi:10.1351/pac200274050787]
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:

- Name and symbol of element of atomic number 110, Pure Appl. Chem. 75(10), 1613-1615, 2003 [doi:10.1351/pac200375101613]
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 [doi:10.1351/pac200476122101]
See press release
- Name and symbol of the element with atomic number 112 (IUPAC Recommendations 2010), Pure Appl. Chem. 82(3), 753-755, 2010 [doi:10.1351/PAC-REC-09-08-20]

Other recent documents include:
- Discovery of the element with atomic number 112, Pure Appl. Chem. 81(7), 1331-1343, 2009 [doi:10.1351/PAC-REP-08-03-05]
- On the claims for discovery of elements 110, 111, 112, 114, 116, and 118, Pure Appl. Chem. 75(10), 1601-1611, 2003 [doi:10.1351/pac200375101601]
- On the discovery of the elements 110-112, Pure Appl. Chem. 73(6), pp. 959-967, 2001 [doi:10.1351/pac200173060959]
- Names and symbols of transfermium elements, Pure Appl. Chem. 69(12), pp. 2471-2473, 1997 [doi:10.1351/pac199769122471]
(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 [doi:10.1351/pac199163060879]
