                        Chapter IR-11 deals with nomenclature of the solid state.
                       b
                        Each individual component is named by following the pathway indicated. The complete name is then
                       assembled according to the recommendations in the Section of Chapter IR-5 indicated.

                        In principle, the compound is outside the scope of this book. A  f ew carbon compounds are named in
                       Tables IR-8.1, IR-8.2 and IX, but otherwise the reader is referred to the Blue Book. 21

                        C-bonded cyanides are treated as coordination compounds, see Chapter IR-9.
                       e
                        The species may be named as a c oordination-type compound (Sections IR-7.1 to IR-7.3) or as a c hain
                       or ring (Section IR-7.4).
