Figure 11.6: Brackets used to indicate mixtures
Bracket type “Mixture, ordered (f)” is primarily used to describe manufacturing processes, where component order is
critical. As with unordered mixtures, individual elements of an ordered mixture should be surrounded by brackets with
a bracket usage of “Component (c)”. However, components of ordered mixtures must be numbered to show their
order. You can do this by editing the “c” label with the text tool to include a number (“c1”, “c2”, and so on.)
Multiple groups
You use the bracket type, “Multiple Group (#)” to indicate that the enclosed items are repeated a known number of
times. Multiple group brackets may enclose entire structures, or part of the structures. Some examples are:

Because multiple group brackets represent a specific repeat count, you can display the molecular weights (and
related data) for the enclosed structures in the Analysis window.
