A01B2C5T8O22OH2

A01B2C5T8O22OH2 is a symbolic identifier used to illustrate a hypothetical encoding for a multicomponent synthetic polymer. In this fictitious scheme, the string is parsed into segments A01, B2, C5, T8, O22, OH2. Each segment consists of a category letter and a numeric value, encoding counts or properties of subunits within a macromolecule. The A, B, and C segments might designate distinct monomer classes; T could denote total or crosslinking density; O might indicate the number of oxygen-containing functional groups; OH2 signals terminal hydroxyl groups. The numbers specify the quantity or extent of the corresponding feature. The compact form enables quick comparison of theoretical polymers by simple numeric vectors, and facilitates teaching about data encoding, combinatorial design, and database indexing.

In practice, A01B2C5T8O22OH2 is not known to correspond to any experimentally characterized substance. No public records
