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. phma
