IUPAC Name

Generate the IUPAC name for your molecular structures

Mnova IUPAC Name is a product designed to generate IUPAC names for your structure. We believe that it is very useful for organic chemists when using Mnova software.

One-click to generate the IUPAC name for any molecular structure included in your Mnova document

It also works in full automation to name full compound libraries in just a few minutes. You can check out the Mnova Gears IUPAC Name solution for more information.

What’s IUPAC Name?

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is the world authority on chemical nomenclature and terminology, including the naming of new elements in the periodic table; on standardized methods for measurement; and on atomic weights, and many other critically-evaluated data.

IUPAC is the universally-recognized authority on chemical nomenclature and terminology and two IUPAC bodies take leading roles in this activity: Division VIII – Chemical Nomenclature and Structure Representation and the Inter-divisional Committee on Terminology, Nomenclature, and Symbols.
