Q: What is that 'extra' 2 ?
OK.
The bad news is that these RAD records are not being
read by Jmol. Even
worse is that there is no support for anything like
this ... since this is
the first that I have heard of it :-)
The good news is that I don't think it would be too
difficult to add.
Q: Is it enough to say that it is a 'radical', or is
there some measure of
'radicalness'? :-) Basically, can I just use one bit as
a flag to tell
whether or not something is 'radical'?
Q: What is the relationship (if any) between 'radical'
and 'charge'?
You earlier asked about showing the atom 'name'. I
think this would be a
good case to give this atom a different 'name':
if you say label "%e" you will get 'C'
if you say label "%a" you will get 'C*' [bullet]
Q: does that sound right to you?
Separately, did
label "%C" work for you?

A simple example:
The allyl radical is formally H2C=CH-CH2 and is
normally written with
a bullet
superscript on the rightmost carbon atom C to indicate
the presence of
an unpaired electron on that carbon.
If the hydrogen atoms are not displayed then the
presence of the bullet
is essential
as otherwise C=C-C could represent H2C=CH-CH3
The following is my version of a mol file with the
'radical' information
added but because it doesn't work I don't know if I
have followed the
MOL format specs.
correctly. The M RAD line is saying (?) there is one
atom, namely atom
no. 2 which has an unpaired electron
