Just double checking, the definitions I'm finding for allotrope are specific to a single element.

    allotrope
    /'ælə,troʊp/
    noun
    a structurally different form of an element
I'm having trouble finding allotrope used to refer to different forms of a compound.

Yes, you're right, I should have used a more complex example for an isomer.
