Hello, I think I can help you. The xyz file format is quite easy: 1 line: No of atoms 2 line: header all other lines: <atom symbol> <x> <y> <z>
The MOL and SD file format descriptions can be found on the MDL home page. You have to search for the CTFile Formats (http://www.mdl.com/solutions/solutions_for/research_scientist/ see the last point on the page). It is also part of the ISIS documentation. NCI Database. I have worked on the Enhanced NCI database. If you have more questions about it, fell free to ask me.

Hmmm ... I am not the file format person, so I don't really know ... I was asking the same question a few months ago. Perhaps someone else can give us a reference to a comprehensive list. And if we come up with a good list then we can publish it on the Jmol web pages. > I know the Brooklyn protein databank, but I'm looking for smaller > molecules (vitamins, pharmaceuticals, ...). > Do you know any free databases focused on models of small molecules on > the WWW? I recently became aware of a large database maintained by the US National Cancer Institute. http://cactus.nci.nih.gov They claim to have over 250K compounds. I have not spent a lot of time there. If you use it, let us know what you think.
