Contribution from Prof. Jonathan Goodman, University of Cambridge, et al.
“The InChI developers are keen to have feedback on the extension of the InChI so it can become an even more effective identifier for organometallic and molecular inorganic structures.
Please try out the latest version. Remember to switch the version to “Latest with Molecular Inorganics” to experiment with the new features. This will generate a non-standard InChI which is being tested for all molecules including those with bonds to metal atoms.
If you find something that looks wrong, or that you particularly like, please let us know. Please send the InChI, the molfile of the structure (use the Save as… button on the web demo to generate a molfile from a sketch of a molecule) and the reason for your interest.”
All feedback welcome! Please send comments to: test@inchi-trust.org
