4.111 OEPerceiveChiral

bool OEPerceiveChiral(OEMolBase &mol)

This function determines the stereocenters of a molecule. This function uses symmetry classes of a molecule, to determine which atoms and bonds are chiral. This function updates the ``chiral'' Boolean property of atoms and bonds. As a side-effect it also sets the ``symclass'' property of all the atoms the molecule to be their ``explicit hydrogen suppressed'' symmetry class, by calling the OEChem function OEPerceiveSymmetry(mol,false).
