This is a lengthy PDF by Neil G. Connelly, Richard M.
Hartshorn, Ture Damhus, and Alan T. Hutton that delves very deeply into the
rules and standards governing the naming of inorganic compounds. The history and
development of chemical nomenclature form part of this document and outline the
functions and methods used to name elements, compounds, and complex ions. The
text provides detailed guidelines on nomenclature of acids, bases, salts, and
coordination complexes, including special cases such as organometallic compounds
and solid-state materials. This text is highly recommended for chemists,
educators, and students in general who aim for clear and precise systematic
naming conventions as a basis of inorganic chemistry.

This
educational note, prepared by Uttarakhand Open University, is a comprehensive
resource for MSc students studying inorganic chemistry. The topics range from
stereochemistry and bonding, metal pi-complexes, and metal clusters to various
chemical properties and behaviors of different metal and nonmetal compounds.
Organometallic chemistry is also explored, putting an emphasis on the alkali and
alkaline earth metals' role in the majority of chemical reactions. This resource
is appropriate for higher-level students in inorganic chemistry who will gain
footing in abstract concepts and applicable themes.
