Hello


I am wondering if it is possible to generate a SMILES where I have specified which atom is first in the string?


Thanks,
DaveĀ

Hi Dave,


There is an experimental option for this:


smiles:In where n is the index of the atom in the molecule.


However this feature is still under development and the option itself may change in the future.


Best regards,


Peter
