14. Stereochemistry Processing

OEChem has the ability to store and retrieve stereochemical information for atoms and bonds independent of two or three dimensional coordinates. The current version of OEChem supports stereochemistry definitions of handedness around tetrahedral centers, and cis/trans configuration around bonds. Future versions of OEChem may support definitions such as exo/endo, axial/equatorial, square planar, pyramidal, trigonal bi-pyramidal, and octahedral.
