Chemistry

Overview​

Below is a list of chemical-related column widgets.

Chemical Structure​

Use this widget to display the chemical structure from a chemical drawing section. The widget cannot create or draw chemical structures; it can only display chemical structures from chemical drawing sections.

Readonly view:

Widget column chemical structure readonly

Edit view:

Widget column chemical structure edit

Form view:

Not supported

Configuration

{
    "should_auto_update": false, # (optional), default to false. 
    # If true, the widget will perform live calculation
    # If false, the user have to click reload to update the value
    "should_auto_update_when_empty": true, # (optional), default to true. 
    # If true, the widget will perform live calculation when the data is empty
    # If false, the results will not be calculated on default
}

Import value:

Not supported

SMILES Structure​

This widget uses Smiles Drawer to draw the chemical structure from SMILES.

Readonly view:

Widget column smiles structure readonly

Click the 'Generate SMILES' button to create molecular weight based on the chemical name.

Edit view:

Widget column smiles structure edit

Form view:

Same as the edit view.

Configuration:

Not supported

Import value:

SMILES string.

Molecular Formula​

This widget can:

  1. Generate molecular formula from the name
  2. Generate molecular weight
  3. Generate SMILES (Simplified molecular-input line-entry system)
  4. Generate molecular structure

This widget requires the creation of these columns before it can be used. By default, these columns are created automatically in the chemical table.

  • molecular_weight
  • SMILES
  • molecular_structure

Some function of chemcalc is used for this widget.

Click the Generate formula button to get the molecular formula directly from the name. You can also click Edit button to enter the molecular formula manually.

Edit view:

Readonly view:

Click the Generate data button to generate the molecular weight, SMILES, and molecular structure.

Form view:

Same as the edit view

Configuration:

{
    "should_use_mw": false, # optional, if false, nominal mass will be used.
    "molecular_weight": {"sid":"xxx", "name":"xxx"},
    "SMILES": {"sid":"xxx", "name":"xxx"},
    "molecular_structure": {"sid":"xxx", "name":"xxx"}
}

Import value:

Formula string.
