designation of name What does "a" mean at the end of refrigerantsa refrigerant's designation (R-134a)?

I was studying the designation of names to refrigerants.

I got theThe following is the basic formula  :

R - (m - 1) ( n + 1) ( o )

where m:
m = number of carbon atoms in the refrigerant 
n = number of hydrogen atoms in the refrigerant 
o = number of fluorine atoms in the refrigerant

so, R So R- 134a134a has:

1 + 1 = 2 carbon atoms

3
3 - 1 = 2 hydrogen atoms

4
4 fluorine atoms

now, what isWhat does the 'a' at the end mean?

What does "a" mean at the end of a refrigerant's designation (R-134a)?

I was studying the designation of names to refrigerants.

where:

n = number of hydrogen atoms in the refrigerant

4 fluorine atoms
