Hello Dan and Roy, The precedent seems to be for putting the IUPAC name in the description:, e.g.
mole_fraction_of_hcfc141b_in_air "Mole fraction" is used in the construction "mole_fraction_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The chemical formula for HCFC141b is CH3CCl2F. The IUPAC name for HCFC141b is 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane. Canonical units "1" I don't envisage a problem with following this template for the six proposed names.
