Table IR-8.2 Common names, functional replacement names, and fully systematic (additive) names for some functional
replacement derivatives of oxoacids. (Draft march 2004)

This Table gives acceptable common names, functional replacement names (cf. Section IR-8.6) and fully systematic (additive) names for
compounds related to oxoacids in Table IR-8.1 and certain isomers and corresponding anions. The examples given are derived by formal

d
replacement of an O atom/O atoms, or of an OH group/OH groups, by (an)other atom(s) or group(s).

Formulae are in some cases given in the classical format with the 'acid' (oxygen- or chalcogen-bound) hydrogen atoms listed first (e.g.
H2S2O3). In most cases formulae are also (or only) written as coordination entities, assembled according to the principles of Chapter IR-7
(e.g. 'H2S2O3 = [SO(OH)2S]').

These names were given with the prefix 'peroxo' rather than 'peroxy' in Ref. 4 (Rule 5.22). However, in Ref. 2 names with the prefix 'peroxo'

n s
were dismissed, with no reason given, and no other prefix names were provided instead. The names with the prefix 'peroxy' continue to be in
frequent use. Furthermore, the general rule in functional replacement nomenclature (Ref. 1, Sec. P-15.5.2) is that the replacement prefix for the

i o
replacement −Ο− → −ΟΟ− is, indeed, 'peroxy' (as opposed to the infix for this replacement, which is 'peroxo'). In view of this, the names with

resulting names are given here in the second column.

the prefix 'peroxy' are listed here. For mononuclear oxoacids, the present rules in Ref. 1 (Section P-67.1) prescribe using the infix method; the
