Furthermore, Elsevier will generate InChI keys from the mol files and include them in the online article, which increase the online searchability of your article e.g. Submitted mol files will be available for downloading from your online article on ScienceDirect. Please use your preferred drawing tool to export chemical structures as mol files and ensure that they are well defined and do not contain aromtic bonds, R-Groups or other variables. For this purpose, mol files of the key compounds can be uploaded in EES. More details are included in this comment from Elsevier.Įlsevier would like to enrich online articles by visualising and providing details of chemical structures you define as the main chemical compounds described in your article. Mol file1.molĪ number of publishers are seeking to add extra value to publications by including access to chemical structure information to aid searching and indexing. If you now look at the mol file in a text editor you can see the title is set more appropriately. Save first document in ( molAttachment ) as "MDL Molfile" This is to ensure the title of the mol file is set correctlyĭo menu item "Clean Up Structure" of menu "Structure" Save first document in ( molAttachment ) as "MDL Molfile” We can do this by adding a line to clean up the structure and then saving. It would be better to have the molfile title the same as the file name the user enters in the dialog box, one way to achieve this is to “edit” the file and then save again to the same file name. When you save it as Mol file, its header block will inherit the current document title "Untitled ACS Document 1996-2”. When you just launched your ChemDraw application, or created a new document, the title would be “Untitled **”, such as "Untitled ACS Document 1996-1".

One of the issues with the original script that the mol file contains in its first line the incorrect title of the file (it appears to be the name of the document template).
#Chem draw demo update#
I’ve added a minor update to the Export as mol file script. I did a quick test with ChemDoodle and there don't seem to be any issues with this chemical drawing programme.

The only thing I can suggest in the meantime is use the "Paste as PDF" functionality, this should allow display and round-trip editing. We plan to support MS Office 2016 for the future release/update. Am I missing something, or has the ability to handle vector graphics been eliminated from the program? FYI- a friend of mine who does design is having the same problem with a CAD program.Ī quick search of the ChemBioDraw support forum highlights several threads that appear to be about the same issue.
#Chem draw demo code#
With Word 2016 for Mac, all I get is many lines of gibberish code and no image.

In past versions of Word, I was always able to copy these images to the clipboard and paste directly into the text of a document. I am a scientist and I routinely create images in a vector drawing program called ChemBioDraw. Word 2016 for Mac: I can't cut-and-paste an image from a vector drawing program
