Changing bond type

If single bond type is selected in the toolbar, clicking on an existing bond will increase the bond type from single to double to triple and back to single bond. Clicking on a stereo bond or dashed bond will change it to a single bond.

If double bond type is selected in the toolbar, clicking on an existing bond will change it to a plain double bond. Clicking on an existing double bond will change the appearence of the double bond from plain to upper bar and lower bar double bond.

If stereo bond type is selected in the toolbar, clicking on an existing bond will change it to stereo bond. Clicking on a stereo bond will change it’s direction.

If special bond type is selected, clicking on an existing bond will change it to the corresponding special bond. More special bonds can be selected in the popover by clicking on the disclosure button

  • If the delocalized bond tool is selected as special bond, clicking on an existing delocalized bond changes its appearance successively (delocalization shown above, below or invisible).
  • If the dative (coordinative) bond tool is selected as special bond, clicking on a bond of this type will change the direction of the arrow tip.

Note: a delocalized bond with invisible delocalization is highlighted with yellow background instead of a red background.
