ABSTRACT

The arrangement used in this index is based on the general molecular formula “CxHyElementz” where the order of elements is alphabetical. The “x”, “y” and “z” values are one or two digits depending on the compound. All carbon containing compounds are listed first. Compounds lacking hydrogen are listed before CxH’s. In most cases water of hydration is not included. Compounds that have no useful structure in the monographs are listed last. Please note that oxygen is represented by a round “O” while zero is an oval “0”.
