A mechanism involving the loss of a CH radical was proposed (see Fig. 1).
3.7.2 The parenthetic expression needs neither capitalization nor a final period, but may have a
question mark, an exclamation point, a set of quotation marks, or a period after an abbreviation.
Years ago, someone (who was it?) told me about it.
Note: It is preferable not to use parenthetic expressions as isolated sentences. When this
construction cannot be avoided, capitalize the first word and place the final punctuation within the
parentheses.
The data are inconclusive. (Some researchers claimed a deviation in amounts of reaction products, but they
were unable to duplicate the results in experiment.)
3.7.3 A combination of parentheses and dashes may be used to set off two parenthetic elements,
one of which contains the other:
He had forgotten what caused their quarrel—something about the will, he suspected (it certainly wouldn’t be
surprising!)—but he knew that they hadn’t spoken since.
3.7.4. Use a pair of parentheses to enumerate in running text. Do not use a hyphen or en dash after
the number. These rules apply as well to figure captions and other parts of the text.
Three applications of this reaction are possible: (1) isomerization of sterically hindered aryl radicals, (2) enol–
keto transformation, and (3) sigmatropic hydrogen shift.
For blocked text, either a pair of parentheses or a period following the number without parentheses
is acceptable. The first words may be lowercased if no items contain complete sentences.
The following parameters were used The following parameters were used
to assess the vertical deformations: to assess the vertical deformations:
(1) The relative change in height of the 1. The relative change in height of the
ith rod and that of the reference rod as ith rod and that of the reference rod as
compared to the initial position of the rods; compared to the initial position of the rods;
(2) The difference between the level of 2. The difference between the level of
the soil surface at the ith rod and that at the the soil surface at the ith rod and that at
reference rod; the reference rod;
(3) The relative change in the level of the 3. The relative change in the level of
soil surface at the ith rod. the soil surface at the ith rod.
3.7.5 Use parentheses to enclose abbreviations that occur after their spelled-out form.
a ruling by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
the manufacture and disposal of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
3.7.6 Use parentheses to identify the trademark and manufacturer of reagents and equipment.
cobalt chloride (Mallinckrodt)
a pH meter with a glass electrode (Corning)
3.7.7 Use parentheses without a space next to a function with its argument.
