Cyclic Structures • Numbers indicate start and stop of ring • Same number indicates start and end of the ring, entered immediately following the start/end atoms • Only numbers 1 – 9 are used • A number should appear only twice • Atom can be associated w. 2 consecutive numbers, e.g., Napthalene: c12ccccc1cccc2
SMILES Conventions • Avoid two consecutive left parentheses if possible • Strive for the fewest number of possible branches • Tautomeric bonds are not designated; enter the appropriate form
Further Restrictions • A branch cannot begin a SMILES notation • A branch cannot immediately follow a double- or triple-bond symbol • Example: C=(CC)C is invalid, but • C(=CC)C or C(CC)=C are valid SMILES

Disconnected Structures • Tetramethyl ammonium bromide C[N+]C(C)C.[Br-]
Isomeric and Chiral SMILES • Isomeric configuration indicated by forward and backward slashes: / \ • Examples: • trans-1,2-dibromoethene: Br/C=C/Br • cis-1,2-dibromoethene: Br/C=C\Br • Chirality indicated by the “@” symbol
