Hi All.
We're generating IUPAC names using scripts and ChemJEP. However, Lambdas are showing up as $l, and not as the Greek character. I found this nugget in the forums:
What you are seeing is the "lambda notation". Since the two phosphorus have the non-standard valence 5 (and not 3), this is marked in the name with a λ⁵. The current ascii representation for this is $l^{5}. If you run the Tools/Naming plugin in mview or msketch you will see the lambdas. Additionally, you can get the unicode string representation on the command-line (molconvert) or the API using the name:u format option (u stands for unicode), which will give you:
This makes me think it's possible, but I have been unable to figure out the syntax for generating the name in script. it's not name:u(), it's not name(u)... Can anybody give me the correct syntax to get a unicode name generated?
Thanks!
