I've sort of come up with a solution on my own, but it feels a little hackish with all those "OR"s in:

php Code:

$szChem = 'H2OCe5CO5L';
preg_match_all('~[^\P{Lu}]{1}[^\P{Ll}]+\d+|[^\P{Lu}]{1}\d+|[^\P{Lu}]{1}[^\P{Ll}]+|[^\P{Lu}]{1}~', $szChem, $aMatches);

print_r($aMatches);

Be much easier if I could split by the uppercase letters, but still retain the uppercase letters and include them alongside the matches, as opposed to in a separate array index.
