关于命名术语“母体氢化物”和“特性基团”的探讨

Discussion of Nomenclature:“Parent Hydride”and“Characteristic Group”

较详细地探讨了命名术语“母体氢化物”和“特性基团”的概念、含义及其对命名有机化合物的重要意义。通过大量实例说明,用母体氢化物(parent hydride)的名称统一处理碳氢化物和其他杂原子氢化物的命名,可以更系统、更方便、更清晰地命名有机化合物;用特性基团(characteristic group)代替官能团(functional group)来命名有机化合物,使每个原子只能被描述一次,不能被重复描述,从而更加准确地命名有机化合物。

We discuss in detail the meaning of“parent hydride”and“characteristic group”,two terms used in organic chemistry.Through numerous examples,we demonstrate that nomenclature based on parent hydrides is superior in terms of convenience,systematization,and clarity.We also propose that“characteristic group”is a more accurate term than the commonly used“functional group”because each atom can only be described once.
