The SMILES chemical notation language was introduced in the first paper of this series. 1 Processing chemical infor-mation with greater efficiency than conventional methods, it represents a new approach to computerized chemical no-menclature. SMILES is simple to write because rules and hierarchical procedures, which are inherently difficult for the chemist, are relegated to computer algorithms. For a given chemical structure, arbitrary SMILES notation can take many equally valid forms. One must emerge as “unique” to serve as the identifier of the structure for database and other com-puter applications.This is accomplished by a method called CANGEN that combines two separate algorithms, CANON and GENES. The first stage, CANON, labels a molecular structure with canonical labels. The structure is treated as a graph with nodes (atoms) and edges (bonds). Each atom is given a numerical label on the basis of its topology. In the second stage, GENES
