# PubChem format (pc)

An XML format containing information on PubChem entries.

PubChem is a freely-available database of chemical compounds and their properties.

OpenBabel only extracts the chemical structure information, and the potentially large amount of other information is currently ignored. The format seems to handle multiple conformers, but only one is read (this needs testing).

Note

This is a read-only format.
