Le nom systématique «oxanthrène» (voir aussi cette fiche) est recommandé depuis 1993 pour désigner le système hétérotricyclique constitué de deux cycles benzéniques ortho-condensés à la structure monocyclique 1,4- dihétéroatomique à six chaînons dans laquelle les deux hétéroatomes sont des atomes d'oxygène. Ce nom remplace les noms systématiques antérieurs dibenzo[b,e]dioxine, dibenzo-para-dioxine, dibenzo-p-dioxine et les noms fautifs de dibenzoparadioxine, dioxine, dibenzodioxine et dibenzodioxinne pour désigner le composé tricyclique. Il est à noter que les lettres «b,e» entre crochets, de même que le préfixe «para» et son abréviation «p» s'écrivent en italique. 1, record 1, French, - 2%2C3%2C7%2C8%2Dt%C3%A9trachlorooxanthr%C3%A8ne
