In general, it comes from Mathematica's ChemicalData module (http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/note/ChemicalDataSourceInformation.html) with some natural language processing thrown in, as you've pointed out. (In mathematica, the module acts like a perl hash, if there's no key for the name you type in, you don't get anything back, so none of this pentachloromethane stuff would work.
