About SMILES
SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) is a chemical notation that describes molecular structure using ASCII strings.
Basic SMILES Rules:
- Atoms: C, N, O, S, P, etc.
- Bonds: Single (-), Double (=), Triple (#)
- Rings: Numbers to close rings (c1ccccc1)
- Branches: Parentheses (CC(C)C)
- Aromatic: Lowercase (c, n, o for aromatic atoms)
