Bob,
For the time being, I'm simply trapping and replacing the responses from
your Jmol compare/isomer routine when coordination compounds are loaded.
I can automate this change over in JavaScript. The response replacements
allow identical/not identical/not same formula responses for
coordination compounds. This will allow me to do some quick checking.
I've played a bit, and this approach seems to work. Square planar is
fine. Octahedral will take more testing. I'll get back to you on this.

Otis, I've also started the same thread at
<blueobelisk-smi...@lists.sourceforge.net
<mailto: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.

Bob,
I think I see it. If I'm analyzing @ or @@, group 1 is toward me.
Is that correct?
Yes, group 1 is toward you, and the rotation about the others is the
same as depicted in the @ symbol itself -- CCW for "@" . The first and
last groups must be axial. The ones in between are the ones that are
checked for rotation order.
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]9[c@h]...@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.
