Molecule Identifiers

Messages 5-7 appear to be establishing symbols to stand in place of common molecular formulas. Each row consists of a number glyph with the bit in the upper left corner set, followed by a molecular structure. We shall interpret these glyphs as an identifier (written as m_n where n is the number the glyph represents). The following list is ordered by the m-identifiers. Each row has an m-identifier followed by a molecular formula and the compound's name.

• m9 = C₃H₅O₂ (2-carboxyethyl)
• m16 = CH₄ (methane)
• m17 = NH₃ (ammonia)
• m18 = H₂O (water)
• m20 = C₂H₆N (1-aminoethyl)
• m28 = N₂ (triple bond)
• m29 = CH₂-CH₃ (ethyl)
• m30 = CH₂-NH₂ (1-amine-)
• m31 = CH₂-OH (hydroxymethyl)
• m32 = O₂ (double bond)
• m44 = C₂H₅O (1-hydroxyethyl)
• m45 = C₂H₅O (2-hydroxyethyl)
• m46 = SiO₂ (silicon dioxide)
• m48 = O₃ (ozone)
• m56 = C₂H₂NO (glycyl radical residue)
• m58 = C₂H₄NO (2-amino-2-oxoethyl)
• m59 = C₂H₃O₂ (carboxymethyl)
• m72 = C₃H₆NO (3-amino-3-oxopropyl)
• m82 = Al₂O₃ (aluminium oxide)
• m84 = C₄H₉ (isobutyl)
• m85 = NNaO₃ (sodium nitrate)
• m86 = C₃H₈N₃ (unknown)
• m87 = C₄H₇O₂ (butanoic acid)
• m95 = MgCl₂ (magnesium dichloride)
• m100 = C₄H₁₀N₃ (3-carbamimidamidopropyl)
• m104 = Fe₂O₃ (ferric oxide)
• m118 = C₇H₇ (benzyl group)
• m134 = C₇H₇O (4-hydroxybenzyl)
• m328 = FeO (ferrous oxide)
