general April 7, 2022: InChI Days 2022 Symposium

Our InChI Days 2022 virtual symposium brought together much of the InChI development community to discuss directions and future evolution of the InChI Standard. While the InChI Standard is quite stable and used across much of the organic chemistry space, our symposium covered a wide and diverse suite of extensions being studied by working groups of experts in each area. Topics covered by these teams at our meeting included extended stereochemistry, extended tautomers, polymers, Markush/variable structures, mixtures, reactions, nanomaterials, isotopologues and the use of QR codes. We have the slide decks from the sessions available here on our website .
