Talk:Neptunyl ammonium nitrate

SMILES in infobox

@Graeme Bartlett: I noticed that you added a SMILES identifier for this compound; however, this identifier seems to treat the compound as having NpO2+2 and NO3 separated, when in reality they form a coordination complex. Shouldn't the SMILES string show ONO3-Np bonds?

Well there is a lot of ways to represent metal complexes in SMILES notation. I chose keeping the parts as separate bits joined by dots. But you can give representing ligand bonds a go, but you will have to use the square brackets around the oxygen to give it more bonds than the valence. The most tricky ones are the cyclopentadiene complexes. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:23, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
