Nomenclature

The Danish Chemical Society's Committee for Nomenclature (Kemisk Forenings Nomenklaturudvalg) establishes systematic chemical nomenclature in Danish based on the international nomenclature recommendations provided by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
 

The Committee manages the website Dansk Kemisk Nomenklatur (kemisknomenklatur.dk), at which there is a facility for searching the more than 18,000 entries in the Committee's database of Danish chemical names and where a number of nomenclature-related documents are available.

 

The Committee's recommendations appeard originally in three printed editions of Kemisk Ordbog, the latest one dating from 2008. The contents of the book are accessible on-line at Ordbogen.com as well as at kemisknomenklatur.dk (under the menu item ‘Kapitler og tabeller’).

 

The members of the Committee are:
Ture Damhus (chairman), Mogens T. Jensen, Poul E. Andersen, Alan Mortensen, Søren Møller, Mette Lützen, and Rolf W. Berg.

Corresponding members: Keld Nielsen, Mette Malmqvist, Børge Riis Larsen, Erik Karlsen, Sven E. Harnung.
