Cyrillization of Chemical nomenclature

The Cyrillization of Chemical nomenclature is the transliteration of the names of Chemical compounds into Cyrillic script for areas where access to Latin script is not readily available. This is both for the convenience of the written representations of these Chemicals among Scientists as well as a definite Phonetic pronunciation for the uses of daily life. However, because of the lack of a language for the Chemical names to be in, there is no official pronunciation for the names. For this reason, this article uses a reconstructed pronunciation from various languages, the International Phonetic Alphabet, and the Scientific transliteration of Cyrillic.

The nomenclature used most frequently worldwide is the one created and developed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The Primary function of this chemical nomenclature is to ensure that a spoken or written chemical name leaves no ambiguity concerning which chemical compound the name refers to: each chemical name should refer to a single substance. A less important aim is to ensure that each substance has a single name, although a limited number of alternative names is acceptable in some cases. The IUPAC's rules for naming organic and inorganic compounds are contained in two publications, known as the Blue Book and the Red Book, respectively. A third publication, known as the Green Book, describes the recommendations for the use of symbols for physical quantities (in association with the IUPAP), while a fourth, the Gold Book, contains the definitions of a large number of technical terms used in chemistry.
