[Jmol-users] Bonding in cif files

[Tom D. <td...@uo...>]

Hi,

I have two questions regarding the reading of bonding in cif files.

I would like to load a cif file and use both the unit cell information and
the bonding information from the GEOM_BOND, but I have tried several
combinations of options, and can only seem to get the autobonding when the
unit cell is used. Is there a simple way to achieve this?

Secondly, are there any plans to support reading the bond orders from cif
files? For example Materials Studio writes the bond orders into a field
'_ccdc_geom_bond_type' with 'S', 'D', 'T' etc., although I realise these are
conventions and not strict cif fields.

Thanks,

Tom
