Italics

Numbers in parentheses are reference numbers and indicate that the author s work is referred to although his name is not mentioned in the text, Numbers in italic show the pages on which the complete references are listed,... 

Figure 2-74. Basic stages for describing a stereoisomer by a permutation descriptor. At the stereocenter, the molecule is separated into the skeleton and its ligands. Both are then numbered independently, with the indices of the skeleton in italics, the indices of the ligands in bold.

After deleting from the box diagram entries corresponding to Ms values ranging from -S to S and Ml values of Ml and - Ml, one has (again using italics to denote the deleted entries) ... 

Note the usage of the prefixes iso-, neo-, sec-, and tert-, and note when italics are employed. Italicized prefixes are never involved in alphabetization, except among themselves thus 5-ec-butyl would precede isobutyl, isohexyl would precede isopropyl, and 5-ec-butyl would precede rert-butyl. 

Symbols separated by commas represent equivalent recommendations. Symbols for physical and chemical quantities should be printed in italic type. Subscripts and superscripts which are themselves symbols for physical quantities should be italicized all others should be in Roman type. Vectors and matrices should be printed in boldface italic type, e.g., B, b. Symbols for units should be printed in Roman type and should remain unaltered in the plural, and should not be followed by a full stop except at the end of a sentence.

Isotopically labeled compounds may be described by inserting the italic symbol of the isotope in brackets into the name of the compound for example, H C1 is hydrogen chloride[ CZ] or hydrogen chloride-36, and H C1 is hydrogen H chloride[ CZ] or hydrogen-2 chloride-38. 

Crystal Structure. The structure type of crystals may be added in parentheses and in italics after the name the latter should be in accordance with the structure. When the typename is also the mineral name of the substance itself, italics are not used.
