• recognition to parse molecular structures and convert them into textual representations. Qian et al. [73][74] demonstrated that this task of optical chemical structure recognition (OCSR) [75] can be handled with a model that combines an image encoder and a molecular graph decoder. Despite the promising

• manual coding of reactions for Chematica [58]. This work has shown that for many cases of reactions, the information implicit in the molecular graph is insufficient to give necessary discrimination [40]. Thus, electron densities or wave functions are needed. While such information can be calculated

Based on QTAIM analysis, the presence of several C−H···π interactions are evident from the existence of the (3, −1) bond critical point (BCPs; small red circles) between the bond path connecting the hydrogen atoms in the alkyl chain of the lower cavity in BrC6 with the
