Otis, I've also started the same thread at <
blueobelisk-smi...@lists.sourceforge.net>, and I'm hoping it can be
explained to me how you do this with T-shaped, see-saw, and square pyramidal
shapes. I think perhaps the answer is going to be that you just leave out
the missing groups and use explicit [...@tbn] or [...@ohn] stereochemical
descriptors (and possibly [...@thn] for trigonal pyramidal). But I'm not sure
about that, because, for example:

[...@oh2]1234.c1.br2.cl3.n4

gives the warning:

WARNING: Chiral center has wrong connectivity -- ignored


at the Daylight Depict site. Hope to hear about that soon.

Notice that the way this works for SMILES generation in Jmol is that Jmol
will now first list all "components" based on atoms that have more than four
attachments. For example, a particular isomer of SF3IBrCl might be:

[...@]123456.i5.f1.br6.f4.f3.cl2

and a ferrocene model I have returns:

[fe]123456789%10...@h]1%11[c@h]...@h]4[c@H]3[C@@h]%112...@h]6%12[c@h]%1...@h
]...@h]8[c@H]7%12

That is, we're creating a "generic" n-coordinate center and then just
listing the attached components. The nice thing about this is that there's
no significance to the order of groups in the individual components -- it's
just the connection numbers 1-10 that determines the stereochemistry, and
you can have as many of these connected inorganic components as you need to
get the job done.

The success here is based on not requiring any sort of "canonical" or
"unique" SMILES description for our purposes. Jmol can match structures to
stereochemical SMILES strings as well as stereochemical SMILES strings to
stereochemical SMILES strings without any need for canonicalization. So
that's all we need.

Except for your finding a bug possibly, Jmol should now be able to match any
stereochemical SMILES involving allenyl, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal,
or octahedral stereochemistry descriptors, and it will generate
stereochemical SMILES strings for structures with all of these shapes
automatically.

NaN means there was not a basic nonstereochemical SMILES match in the first
place, I think.
