Hello Rajarshi,
I still do not feel like I have got the idea... C1=CC=CC=C1 (another example from Daylight site) clearly has not implicit single bond between the first "C" and the "1" following it. In this example, the first "C" is marked with "1", and in example you gave (C1CC-2C1CCC-2C), Is it an option to put the 'ring closure digit' either after atom or after bond? It is documented somewhere? With best regards, Dmitry >> We (developers of Indigo cheminformatics toolkit) >> recently received a bug report on Dingo rendering library >> by Charlie Zhu.
