A group environment annotation is indicated by a two-character
group environment annotation marker
(GEAM). A GEAM-based
annotations is atom-anchored.
The first character of a GEAM is a boundary symbol as in a
structural unit annotation or
the dot character in combination with the surface symbol
| (vertical bar).
The second character is R,
X, Y,
or | to indicate attachment to
an alkyl group, a
halogen atom, a
neighbor group of any kind,
or a surface of a solid material, respectively.
