IncludeHydrogens

IncludeHydrogens

is an option that specifies whether hydrogen atoms should be explicitly included in the results.

Details

  • IncludeHydrogens is an option for such functions as AtomCount, AtomList and MoleculeValue.
  • Typical settings for IncludeHydrogens are:
  • Allinclude all hydrogen atoms in the result
    Noneexclude all hydrogen atoms
    "ExplicitOnly"exclude any implicit hydrogen atoms
  • AtomCount and related functions will include any implicit hydrogen atoms in the result with the default setting of IncludeHydrogensAll. Use IncludeHydrogens"ExplicitOnly" to ignore implicit hydrogens.
  • MoleculePlot has a default setting of IncludeHydrogensAutomatic and will omit most hydrogen atoms attached to carbon atoms.

Basic Examples  (3)

Create a molecule from an entity:

One molecule of glucose contains 24 atoms:

Exclude the hydrogen atoms to get the heavy-atom count:

Create a molecule representing ethanol only listing heavy atoms:

AtomList will return the hydrogen atoms, even those not explicitly listed in the expression:

Use IncludeHydrogens"ExplicitOnly" to exclude implicit hydrogens:

Molecule properties will include hydrogen atoms in the result by default:

Use the IncludeHydrogens option to exclude hydrogen atoms:

Possible Issues  (1)

IncludeHydrogens does not prevent Molecule from filling open valences with hydrogen atoms:

Use ValenceFilling to control the addition of hydrogen atoms:
