Isotopocule

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isotopocule is a shorthand for an isotopically substituted molecule. Isotopocules are molecules that differ only in their isotopic composition or the intramolecular position of the isotopes.[1] It is an umbrella term for the more specific terms isotopologue and isotopomer, coined by Jan Kaiser and Thomas Röckmann in 2008.[2][3]
