In CurlySMILES, antimatter atoms and nuclei are encoded by presenting them in atomic node code (ANC) or square-bracket code (SQC) notation followed by the SSAM annotation {an}. The following table shows notations for antimatter atoms and nuclei that have been observed in heavy ion collider experiments:
antiproton [H+]{an}
antideuteron [2H+]{an}
antitriton [3H+]{an}
antihydrogen atom [H]{an}
antihelium-3 atom [3He]{an}
antihelium-4 atom [4He]{an}
antihelium-3 nucleus [3He+2]{an}
antihelium-4 nucleus (anti-α) [4He+2]{an}
Notice that {an} annotates the total encoded structure, such that anti-dihydrogen is encoded as [H][H]{an}, using just one annotation at the end of the SMILES notation.
