Definition:
Formula with each discrete bonded residue or ion shown as a
separate moiety. See above CHEMICAL_FORMULA for rules
for writing chemical formulae. In addition to the general
formulae requirements, the following rules apply:
1. Moieties are separated by commas ','.
2. The order of elements within a moiety follows general rule
5 in CHEMICAL_FORMULA.
3. Parentheses are not used within moieties but may surround
a moiety. Parentheses may not be nested.
4. Charges should be placed at the end of the moiety. The
Singlege '+' or '-' may be preceded by a numerical multiplier
and should be separated from the last (element symbol +
count) by a space. Pre- or post-multipliers may be used for
individual moieties.
