Struct=Name is CambridgeSoft's comprehensive algorithm for converting English chemical names into chemical structure diagrams. It is designed to be as practical as possible, interpreting chemical names as they are actually used by chemists. In addition to recognizing most of the official rules and recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), and the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Name<=>Struct also recognizes the shorthand, slang, and neologisms of everyday usage. It is extremely tolerant of deviations from the official rules in regard to spaces, parentheses, and punctuation. Both regular names (chlorobenzene) and CAS-style inverted names (benzene, chloro-) are supported.

In addition, it has an extensive algorithm for the identification of common typos (typing errors, such as "mehtyl") to increase the odds of generating structures for the names it is given.

Struct <=> Name Pro generates systematic names for chemical structures with support for the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules for stereochemistry. This improved Struct=Name produces names for many more types of compounds, including charged compounds and salts, highly symmetric structures, many types of inorganic and organometallic compounds, and others.

This product is ChemDraw Std plus the Struct=Name feature.
