IUPAC name generator

API

Marvin provides an API so that names can also be generated from Java programs. Given a chemaxon.stuc.Molecule object m, its name can be computed by using:

String name = m.toFormat("name");

Options

It is possible to use a format option to chose a nomenclature style:

i (default) uses the IUPAC rules for prefered names;
t uses a more traditional style.

For instance, to generate traditional names, use the following:

String tradionalName = m.toFormat("name:t");
