Senior characteristic group

All other characteristic groups can be named both as prefixes and/or as suffixes. The most senior characteristic group is expressed as suffix and... 

Treatment of the Most Senior Characteristic Group in the Light of the Two Preceding Paragraphs... 

If the characteristic group occurs in more than one cyclic system, that system is chosen as parent which (a) carries the largest number of the principal group or, failing to reach a decision, (b) is the senior ring system. 

If the characteristic group occurs both in a chain and in a cyclic system, the parent is that portion in which the principal group occurs in largest number. If the numbers are the same, that portion is chosen which is considered to be the most important or is the senior ring system. 

Table 4.12 Some characteristic groups with names cited as suffixes or prefixes in substitutive nomenclature, presented in decreasing order of seniority (see Tables 4.10 and 6.1).

In consequence, classification of antisymmetric wave functions of lN configurations using the characteristics of irreducible representations of Sp4i+2 and R21+1 groups is fully equivalent to classification by the eigenvalues of operators S2 and Q2. If now we take into account formula (9.22) relating the quasispin quantum number to the seniority quantum number, we can establish the equivalence of (15.80) and (5.38). 

For repeating terms of the fN configuration to be classified, the seniority quantum number is no longer sufficient in this case (see (14.39)) the characteristics of irreducible representations of the G2 group [24] are used. The generators of this group are the fourteen operators...
