XYZ format
XYZ format
Marvin imports and exports XYZ molecule files that have the following format:
[ # optional comment line ]     not written but allowed at import[  N                      ]     always written, but can be omitted in imported files  [  name\tE                ]     always written, but can be omitted in imported files	atom1 x y z	atom2 x y z	...	atomN x y zwhere N is the number of atoms and E is the energy (optional). If energy is set for the molecule, then it is separated from the molecule name with a TAB ("\t") character.
Restrictions of the XYZ format:
-     Bonds are not stored. 
-     As a consequence, all the hydrogens must be explicit, otherwise the bond types can not be guessed reliably by the importing program. In Marvin, implicit hydrogens are automatically converted to explicit H atoms at XYZ export. 
-     Charges are not stored. 
-     Query properties and other extra features are not stored.

Do not export 2D drawings in XYZ!
XYZ export in Marvin is only meaningful for 3D molecules with realistic atomic distances.
