Method Detail

fromFormula

public static com.chemaxon.calculations.elemanal.formula.MolecularFormula fromFormula(java.lang.String formula)

fromMolecule

public static com.chemaxon.calculations.elemanal.formula.MolecularFormula fromMolecule(Molecule molecule)

createAnalysis

public static ElementalAnalysis createAnalysis(java.lang.String formula)

Constructs an elemental analysis from molecular formula.

Multiple fragments with fractional stoichiometric coefficients are supported: CH3O.0.5Na.1.5H2O, NaCl.1.5H2O, AlCl3.1.5H2O
If the molecular formula contains any unspecified symbol (e.g. R, Pol) the analysis do not take into consideration these symbols. The analysis returns the same result for formulas either with or without these symbols.

Parameters:

formula - molecular formula, e.g. C3H8NO2, Al2(CO3)3.2H2O

Returns:

an ElementalAnalysis instance

Throws:

com.chemaxon.calculations.elemanal.formula.tree.InvalidFormulaException - if the parser cannot parse the formula string
