Reading/Writing and Partial Parity Bonds #35

Closed rapodaca closed 2 years ago

rapodaca commented 2 years ago

PPBs are complicated and error-prone. Both Reading and Writing sections should discuss the issues and offer ways to work around them.

One approach: an intermediate descriptor that replaces PPBs with dedicated syn/anti double bonds. Similar in concept to the @ notation proposed as an OpenSMILES extension.
