The Gold Book or Compendium of Chemical Terminology (ISBN 0865426848) is a book published by IUPAC containing internationally accepted definitions for terms in chemistry.
Work on the first edition was initiated by Victor Gold, hence the name. The first edition was published in 1987 and the second one, edited by A. D. McNaught and A. Wilkinson, was published in 1997. A slightly expanded version of the Gold Book is also freely searchable online.
