Subscript

Hi:

In MarvinSketch I would like to make the following: (CH₂)_n

However, in spite of all my efforts I was not able to produce the result. All I got was (CH₂)n ; note the "n" not subscripted.  What I was doing is as follows:

- Periodic table

-Advanced

-Alias

- (CH2)\sn

The result as stated above.

Please help.

Regards,

Bojan

Hi,

I hope  this

(CH\s2\)\sn

will work.

(\s is for subsricpt and \ for escaping), the syntax is the same applied for abbreviated groups

Thank you Nikolett. Unfortunately the your proposal does not produce required result. If enetring (CH\s2\)\sn in Alias, both the "n" and the parentheses ")" are subscripted. Interesting enough is that if using escape sequence for superscript (\S) everything works fine e.g. (CH2)\Sn returned correct result with "2" subscripted and "n" superscripted.

Dear Bojan,

I am very sorry for the previous.

Of course the  reset (set back to normalI is : \n

so

(CH\s2\n)\sn

is the right format.

Hi Nikolett:

Unfortunately, I must report that your proposed solution did not solve the problem. What I want to obtain in the formula (CH2)n is that both the numeral "2" an the letter "n" are placed sub-scripted. If you check the attached sample you may noticed that the numeral "2" is sub-scripted, however, the letter "n" is only smaller but placed in line with "CH" instead of with "2".

While I was writing you this very message i came across a weird behavior of Marvin Sketch. Namely, if in the formula (CH2)x, where as alias entered in the form (CH\s2\n)\sx, the "x" represents a numeral, such as 2, 3 etc. the formula is shown correctly with both numerals sub-scripted. If however, the "x" represents a letter it is shown only smaller but not sub-scripted. See different behavior in the attached sample.

I hope this will be corrected in the future release.

Kind regards,

Bojan

Dear Bojan,

thank you very much for the report.

 A ticket has been created and we will get back to you when this is fixed, but unfortunately we can not promise a quick fix.

Last year we introduced the Label Editor tool, which makes the atom label formatting much more easier. For more information please consult our documentation or watch this video tutorial.

Thank you for your kind understanding!

Dear Nikollet,

Thank you for your prompt reply. However, I have discovered that Marvin Sketch behaves the same way regardless of the tool used. If letters and numerals are used mixed in sub-scripted text the problem occur as I have described in my previous post.

Best regards,

Bojan
