Specifically labelled
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-011115
Describing a chemical compound in which the position of an isotopic label is precisely known and indicated. This contrasts with uniformly labelled compounds where the isotope is distributed throughout the molecule without a specified position. The specific position of the isotope is denoted by a locant in the chemical name.
