Hi all

I am writing my paper and I used abbreviation (SA-1) to represent it in the paper.

It is a very complex structure thing and I am writing the Experimental section.

Can I just say SA-1???

Or, can I trust the name given by ChemDraw??

Thanks

I think you should quote the name at least once and say it's now called SA-1. And use that throughout the rest of the paper.
