InChI 2D Molecular Structure Macro

The International Chemical Identifier (InChI –** ***pronounced “IN-chee”*) is a textual identifier for chemical substances, designed to provide a standard way to encode molecular information and to facilitate the search for such information in databases and on the web.

The InChI 2D Molecular Structure macro renders strings in InChI format into two-dimensional drawings of the molecules.

This macro is only available in the commercial cloud version of the app – available December 2023.

How to use

In the Confluence editor, type /inchi and select InChI 2D Molecular Structure.
