_define_stereo_relationship
Name:'_define_stereo_relationship'
Definition:
Defines the enantiomorphic relationship of the stereo geometry in the data cell (data block or save frame). The descriptions of independently defined stereo regions, whose centres all have the same inter-centre relationship, may be grouped together. For each such group, the inter-centre relationship is specified by _define_stereo_relationship. Where there is only one such group, all the relevant data may be included in the data block or save frame for the molecule as a whole. Where there are several different such groups, each should be shown in a separate save frame and _reference_stereo_group should be used to reference the different save frames. For each stereo group, a two-level loop structure will be used to define the stereocentres it contains. Each stereogenic atom site is defined by _stereo_atom_id and _stereo_geometry at the first loop level, and by _stereo_vertex_id at the second. Each stereogenic bond is defined by _stereo_bond_id_1, _stereo_bond_id_2 and _stereo_geometry at the first level, and by _stereo_vertex_id at the second level.
The data value must be one of the following:
absolute | configuration is as shown |
relative | configuration is relative |
unknown | configuration is unknown |
racemic | two stereoisomers: equal mix of d and l |
absolute_excess | two stereoisomers; excess as shown |
relative_excess | two stereoisomers; excess unknown |
Enumeration default: unknown
