Abstract

The present invention concerns a method of representing chemical structural formulae on a display device by means of a chemical symbol or graphic program for producing chemical structural formulae, and a system for representing chemical structural formulae having an apparatus for carrying out the method according to one of claims 1 to 3, comprising a computer and a symbol or graphic program installable thereon for representing chemical structural formulae and at least one memory. In order to provide a method and a corresponding system for representing chemical structural formulae on a display device, by means of which the preparation of chemical reaction equations on the basis of structural formulae is substantially simplified, it is proposed in accordance with the invention that codings are allocated to known or newly synthesised chemical substances, that the codings are stored in a memory which can be connected to the symbol program, wherein in relation to each code of a chemical substance the associated structure or a program routine for production of the structure are also stored, and that the code is applied in a readable or machine-readable form to an article with unequivocal association with the substance so that from there it can be inputted into a computer on which the symbol program is running, wherein by virtue of the input of the code the representation of the corresponding structure on the display device can be triggered.
