Open Babel report format (report)#

A detailed report on the geometry of a molecule

The report format presents a report of various molecular information, including:

  • Filename / molecule title

  • Molecular formula

  • Mass

  • Exact mass (i.e., for high-resolution mass spectrometry, the mass of the most abundant elements)

  • Total charge (if not electrically neutral)

  • Total spin (if not singlet)

  • Interatomic distances

  • Atomic charges

  • Bond angles

  • Dihedral angles

  • Chirality information (including which atoms are chiral)

  • Additional comments in the input file

Example for benzene:
