Category CHEMICAL_CONN_ATOM
Name:'CHEMICAL_CONN_ATOM'
Parent category:
CHEMICAL
Definition:
The CATEGORY of data items which describe the 2D chemical structure of the molecular species. They allow a 2D chemical diagram to be reconstructed for use in a publication or in a database search for structural and substructural relationships. In particular, the chemical_conn_atom data items provide information about the chemical properties of the atoms in the structure. In cases where crystallographic and molecular symmetry elements coincide they must also contain symmetry-generated atoms, so as to describe a complete chemical entity.
