Chirality Representations in SMILES
This section provides a quick introduction on chirality representations in SMILES. Different types of chirality are represented in as different chiral class codes in an format of [x@ccn].
How Chirality Representations Are Represented in SMILES? - Different types of chirality are represented in as different chiral class codes in an format of [x@ccn] according to the following rules:
1. Tetrahedral chiral class code: TH - A tetrahedral center with 4 different neighboring atoms has 2 configurations:
2. Allene-like chiral class code: AL - A sequence of an even number of double bonds with 4 different neighboring atoms has 2 configurations:
3. Square-planar chiral class code: SP - A square-planar chiral has 4 configurations:
4. Trigonal-bipyramidal chiral class code: TB - A trigonal-bipyramidal chiral has 20 configurations:
5. Octahedral chiral class code: OH - A Octahedral chiral has 30 configurations:
6. There is a default chiral class defined to a chiral center based on the number of connected atoms:
