Project
Macromolecular
Division
(IV)
Number: 2002-048-1-400
Title: Compendium of macromolecular
terminology and nomenclature (The Purple Book), 2nd Edition
Task Group
Chairman: T. Wilks
Members: M.
Bar�n, R.G.
Gilbert, M. Hess,
R.G. Jones, J.
Kahovec, T. Kitayama,
P. Kratochvil,
W. Val Metanomski,
R.F.T. Stepto, and
W. J. Work
Objective:
Reissue of "The Purple Book" in an updated and enlarged version
to replace the 1991
version (now obsolete and out-of-print).
Description:
All the chapters in this second edition of the Purple Book are official
recommendations already published in PAC. An 'Introduction'
and 'Guide' will be exceptions,
as they are intended to be abridged, more readable versions of those
recommendations; these chapters should be agreed on by the Subcommittee
on Macromolecular Terminology and the Division President.

Appendix
Bibliography of Biopolymer-Related IUPAC-IUBMB Nomenclature Recommendations
Progress:
Dec 2008 - Project completed - book titled "Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature - IUPAC Recommendations 2008" published by RSC, 2009 [ISBN 978-0-85404-491-7].
This new edition of the "Purple Book" collects into a single volume the most important position papers on the nomenclature and terminology of several types of polymers, such as Regular Single-Strand Organic Polymers, Regular Double-Strand (Ladder and Spiro) Organic Polymers, and Irregular Single-Strand Organic Polymers. The scope has been extended to include papers on terminology for polymers. It is a handy compendium for scientists and is invaluable for those professionals working in this field.
