Isotopologues

The term isotopology in chemistry.

Isotopologues are chemical compounds whose molecules differ only in their isotopic composition. They therefore have the same elementary chemical composition and bonding arrangement of the atoms; but at least one atom has a different number of neutrons in the nucleus than the parent.
