intramolecular
Inside one molecule
Intramolecular describes something occurring within a single molecule, as opposed to between different molecules.
An intramolecular bond connects atoms in the same molecule.
An intramolecular reaction involves parts of one molecule interacting with each other.
The prefix intra- (within) distinguishes it from intermolecular (between molecules).
