Italic letters in iupac module of chemmacros don't work in acronym definition using glossaries












0















I am trying to make an acronym list for my dissertation, and I am using the iupac module of the chemmacros package to do so. I use the single letter commands to type the italics because it is easier than setting the italics for each of the letters. I believe the definitions on the package are actually just textit{} codes for each defined letter. However, these do not work when defining an acronym! (but it does work when using textit{}). I guess I can just typeset each one with the textit{} command, but I am curious as to why this is the case.



This works:



documentclass{report}
usepackage{chemmacros}
usepackage{glossaries}

newacronym{DMF}{DMF}{iupac{textit{N},textit{N}-dimethylformamide}}

begin{document}
Dissolve in gls{DMF}. Evaporate gls{DMF} off.
end{document}


But this doesn't:



documentclass{report}
usepackage{chemmacros}
usepackage{glossaries}

newacronym{DMF}{DMF}{iupac{N,N-dimethylformamide}}

begin{document}
Dissolve in gls{DMF}. Evaporate gls{DMF} off.
end{document}


(I tried using nitrogen instead of N and it doesn't work either)
