Bob,

This is not a huge problem. For what we are doing, we depend mostly on internal consistency of our SMILES library, and Jmol SMILES give us that. The only place we run into this problem is with a link that optimizes a model in the window by making a Resolver call.

Sounds like a resolver issue. This is tricky, but not ambiguous.

C\2=C/C#C

indicates a trans connection ("down" to the other atom at connection 2; "up" to the triple bond)

More explicitly you would have:

o...@h]1[c@H]/2[C@@]34N[C@@H]5C/C=C\C#C.C4CC1.C5CC3.C\2=C/C#C

but that first "/2" can be just "2" without any ambiguity.

    Bob,

    I copied Markus with this problem because I don't know if it's a
    Resolver of Jmol issue. I think it's a Resolver issue. While I
    think the
    backslash issue (Jmol to Resolver) is mostly under control, a general
    slash issue seems to remain. By way of example:

    o...@h]1[c@H]2[C@@]34N[C@@H]5C/C=C\C#C.C4CC1.C5CC3.C\2=C/C#C

    In the above example, Resolver gets the .....C/C=C\..... right, but it
    sees the ....C\2=C/.... (cis, I think) as ambiguous. This appears
    to be
    a general problem when either type of slash precedes a number.

    As I type this, I am having a sense of deja vu. This might be an issue
    that's already on the table.
