Index of Atoms and Molecules
The system of indexing molecules is, first, according to the number of atoms in the molecule.
Then, with the chemical formula written in what seems a natural way, they are ordered
alphabetically in order of the atoms as they appear in the formula.
The system of labelling isotopically substituted molecules is the same as that used in the
text. Except for a very few cases the only nuclei labelled are those which are not the most
abundant species.
For most molecules with more than three atoms the name of the molecule is given in
parentheses after the chemical formula. In most cases, only the common and not the
systematic name is given so that, for example, C 2H 4 is called ethylene and not ethene.
Note. Insertion of ‘ff’ after a page number, for example 314ff, means ‘and following,’ and
indicates that a reference continues, in the same context, on following pages. If the reference
continues on adjacent pages, but in a different context, ‘ff’ is not attached: for example 320,
321 indicates references to the same atom or molecule but in different contexts.
