In chemistry, a semisystematic name is a name for a chemical compound that contains some elements of systematic chemical nomenclature but is not completely systematic.[1] Examples include methane, propanol, benzoic acid, glycerol, acetone, styrene. Many semisystematic names are retained names in IUPAC nomenclature,[2] and may also be preferred IUPAC names.[3]
The history of semisystematic names can be traced to the Geneva Congress of 1892, which produced the first formal system of organic nomenclature.[4] The Geneva nomenclature formalised many of the suffixes that are still in use today, such as –ol to denote an alcohol, but there were already a wide variety of names in use. Some of these already had the correct suffixes, such as acetone, and other names were modified without making them fully systematic; for example, glycerine became glycerol in normal chemical usage to reflect the fact that it is an alcohol, although its full systematic name is propane-1,2,3-triol.
