Flip type
For ladder polymers (polymers with two connecting bonds on each side) the connection order may be undefined. You
can assign the Flip Type property to define it. This property is only for brackets with exactly two crossing bonds.
Because of its prevalence, the No Flip type does not receive special annotation. The figure below illustrates a flip type
in ladder polymers.
Alternative groups
You can create a search query that contains variable functional groups or substructures. Instead of submitting mul-
tiple queries on structures that share a common substructure, you can submit a single query with the parent structure.
The parent structure can have attachment points to a list of alternative groups that you can define.
