how to specify input format in jc_molconvert

How do I force molconvert to interpret the input as the word "on" using name-to-structure conversion, instead of interpreting it as smiles? Thanks





select jc_molconvert('on', 'smiles:a') from dual;

It is currently not possible. In the next JChem version (5.2.1), I have included a molconvert function in the jcf package with an extra parameter (the second one) to coerce the input format:

Code:

SQL> select jcf.molconvert('bromobenzene', 'name', 'smiles:a') from dual; JCF.MOLCONVERT('BROMOBENZENE','NAME','SMILES:A') -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brc1ccccc1

As "on" is not a IUPAC name, trying to interpret it as one will give an error:

Code:
