Not yet. I think that the gismu provided with Lojban are entirely inadequate
to express chemistry, so I invented a few more for the purpose:
xudvu - aldehyde
zmase - enzyme, catalyst, -ase
benzo - aromatic carbon compound (default benzene)
They're somewhere on the Wiki, which I can't access at the moment.
I put a periodic table at http://phma.hn.org/Language/selratni.html . Some
lojbanists may disagree with my choice of consonant in some type-3 fu'ivla;
so these names may change before being finalized.
