IUPAC Commission on Chemical Nomenclature

The IUPAC Commission on Chemical Nomenclature is part of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, responsible for establishing standardized rules for naming chemical compounds. This ensures that scientists worldwide use consistent, clear, and universally accepted names, which facilitates clear communication, research, and education in chemistry. The commission develops guidelines for naming elements, molecules, and reactions, helping avoid confusion caused by multiple names or inconsistent terminology. Its work promotes precision and clarity in chemistry, making scientific discussions and documentation more reliable and accessible across different languages and regions.
