What is the IUPAC nomenclature of alkane with large numbers of C atoms (more than 200)?

Question

What is the IUPAC nomenclature for alkanes with large numbers of $\\ce{C}$ atoms (more than 200)? For example, what is the IUPAC accepted name for $\\ce{C_{205}H_{412}}$?

Answer 1

Interestingly enough, there was a research article in 1986 that discusses this same problem. Referring to “Extension of Rules A-1.1 and A-2.5 Concerning Numerical Terms Used in Organic Chemical Nomenclature”, Pure Appl. Chem., 1986, 58, 1693-1696 , a table exists with prefixes for molecules up to 9000. To name a compound, IUPAC names the unit first, then the tens, hundreds, and thousands place.

For your example of C₂₀₅H₄₁₂, it would be called pentadictane.
