New molecules
To have your blog items show up on this page, use the semantic markup for InChI's and SMILES, using microformats or RDFa. For example, write <span class="chem:smiles">CCCOC<span> instead of just CCCOC, or <span class="chem:inchi">InChI=1/bla<span> instead of InChI=1/bla.

Remember the nitro group? Let us consider even simpler case of carbon monoxide. Almost invariably, the chemical databases represent CO as a charge-separated molecule (a) even though it would be as correct to draw it with triple bond and two lone pairs (b)....
