Abstract

A special computer storage method for chemical structures is illustrated in this article. With an improved method of two-dimensional connection table and topology, we can fit almost all chemical structures and display them very conveniently. We have used this method in the PDF (X-Ray Powder Diffraction File) database, which contains many special structures.

Key words: database, computer application, chemical structure
