MOL file format

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-007465

A standard text-based file format used to represent chemical structures, including atoms, bonds, and their connectivity. It stores information such as atomic coordinates, bond types, and formal charges, enabling the exchange of molecular data between different chemistry software applications. The format is widely used in computational chemistry and cheminformatics for molecular visualization and analysis.
