INTRODUCTION
French adaptation of Basic Terminology of Stereochemistry (Recommendations IUPAC 1994), published under the auspices of the Commission Ministérielle de Terminologie de la Chimie and the Délégation Générale à la Langue Française.
The original IUPAC text was prepared by the working group (1981-1994): O. Achmatowicz, H. A. Favre, P. M. Giles Jr, M. M. Mikolajczyk, G. P. Moss (Leader), J.-C. Richer, D. Tavernier, O. Weissbach (Secretary) (from Commission III.I); D. H. Busch (from Commission II.2); P. P. I. Ahlberg, V. Gold † (Responsible), E. A. Halevi, G. Illuminati †, J. March, M. Öki, K. Schwetlick (from Commission III.2); G. Allegra, P. Sigwalt (from Commission IV.I); J. E. Blackwood (Chemical Abstracts Service), J. Siegel (University of California, San Diego). † Deceased.
The authors would like to thank Professor Marc Pierre-Pierre of the Université de Montréal for his help in preparing this manuscript.
This article is a faithful adaptation of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) document, which is the result of an international agreement on the designation of basic terms used in stereochemistry.
Thanks to the precision of its definitions, it is bound to be very useful to all chemists, whether industrial or academic, faced with the task of interpreting or writing in French various texts: articles, patents, etc.
In this document, many symbols used in stereochemical nomenclature are mentioned, but for their assignment and how to incorporate them into chemical names, the reader is referred to the appropriate articles in Techniques de l'Ingénieur : and for organic chemistry, and for inorganic or coordination chemistry. Further details may be sought, if necessary, in the original IUPAC documents relating to nomenclature in organic chemistry
