MIT All Small Molecules project

Version 4.5 March 2018.

This version is updated from the original published in Astrobiology by:

  • Removing a few incorrect structures
  • Adding in a couple of molecules that had been missed from the original list
  • A more systematic treatment of Si, As and Se compounds.

Specifically, a systematic set of Si, Se and As compounds was included, largely generated computationally and selected for hydrolytic stability, with SPONCH and one of Si, Se or As in, but not both (so no silaselenols).

Columns in this (and previous) releases are:

Column

Short title

Contents

A

SMILES

Structure in SMILES format

B

Database number

Unique ASM database number (this is consistent between versions)

C

Molecular Weight

Molecular Weight

D

Formula

Formula

E

IUPAC chemical name

Automatically generated systematic chemical name. Note that occasionally the name generation software fails

F

Metalloid (B, Si, Se, As)

Does this contain a metalloid element B, Si, As or Se (Note this iteration of the database has no boron compounds in it

G

Number of atoms

Number of atoms

H

Non-H atoms

Number of non-hydrogen atoms

I

EPISUITE-compatible SMILES

SMILES string compatible with the EPA's EPIsuite software. This may differ from the canonical SMILES

InChI Codes and Keys are IUPAC standardised chemical descriptors.

K

InChI Key

 

L

EPIsuite output

The raw EPIsuite output

O

MP

Melting point

P

Basis

Basis of melting point value – Experimental or Predicted using EPIsuite
