Isotopologue

Encyclopedia : I : IS : ISO : Isotopologue

Isotopologues (not to be confused with isotopomers) are chemical species that differ only in the isotopic composition of their molecules or ions. An example is water, where three of its hydrogen-related isotopologues are: HOH, HOD and DOD. Simply, the isotopologue of a chemical species has at least one atom with a different number of neutrons.
