MarvinSketch allows you to add Atom List query atoms to your molecule. An Atom List is a user-defined list of elements included in a query structure, any of which will produce a hit if found in the target.
You can add Atom Lists to your molecule through the Periodic Table. To add an Atom List to the molecule
- Select the Atom List button.
- Select the elements you wish to include in the list.
- Move the mouse into the canvas and click to add a Query atom representing this atom list.
You can create the preferred Atom List without opening the Periodic Table.
- Move your mouse over the canvas.
- Typing the chemical symbols you wish to add to the Atom List. The entries of the Atom List must be separated by commas (e.g., au,pt,ag). You can use Backspace to delete errors.
The items of the Atom List are displayed on the upper left corner of the canvas and concurrently at the tip of the pointer (e.g., L[Au,Pt,Ag]). Click on the query atom you want to add this Atom List.
You can move your mouse over the appropriate atom of a molecule or make selections on one or multiple atoms of the molecule before creating the Atom List as a different manner. When you start typing chemical symbols separated by commas, the Atom List adds directly to the selected atoms.
