THE WISWESSER LINE-NOTATION: AN INTRODUCTION.

Abstract

An introduction to the Wiswesser Line-Notation is presented to show the ease of converting structural information to a simple, easily learned, unambiguous linear representation. The rules for encoding acyclic and monocyclic compounds are given along with a number of examples to show how capital letters, numerals, three punctuation marks, and the blank space may be used in reducing chemical structures to unique one-dimensional notations. The uses and need for this notation system are also discussed. (Author)
