Explicit Hydrogen

  • Checker searches for explicit hydrogens.

    The following different types of explicit hydrogens can be searched:

    • Lonely : hydrogen atom without connection (:lonely=true)
    • Isotopic : hydrogen isotopes (:isotopic=true)
    • Charged : charged hydrogen atoms (:charged=true)
    • Radical : hydrogen radicals (:radical=true)
    • Mapped : mapped hydrogens (:mapped=true)
    • Wedged : hydrogen connecting with wedged bond (:wedged=true)
    • H Connected : hydrogen connected to a hydrogen atom (:hconnected=true)
    • Polymer End Group : hydrogen connected to a SRU S-group (:polymerendgroup=true)
    • S-group End : hydrogen connected to a Superatom S-group (:sgroupend=true)
    • S-group : hydrogen which is the only atom in an S-group (:sgroup=true)
    • Valence Error : hydrogen connected to an atom which has valence error (:valenceerror=true)
    • Bridgehead : hydrogen connected to a bridgehead atom (:bridgehead=true)
