Expert system for elucidation of structures of organic compounds (ESESOC) - Algorithm on stereoisomer generation

An algorithm for enumeration of stereoisomers due to asymmetric carbon, C=C double bond and so on has been developed. It consists of three steps. The output of stereoisomers can be represented by 2.5-dimensional connection table.

EXPERT-SYSTEM FOR ELUCIDATION OF STRUCTURES OF ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS

An expert system for the elucidation of the structures of organic compounds-ESESOC-II has been designed. It is composed of three parts: spectroscopic data analysis, structure generator, and evaluation of the candidate structures. The heart of ESESOC is the structure generator, as an integral part, which accepts the specific types of information, e.g. molecular formulae, substructure constraints, and produces an exhaustive and irredundant list of candidate structures. The scheme for the structural generation is given, in which the depth-first search strategy is used to fill the bonding adjacency matrix (BAM) and a new method is introduced to remove the duplicates.

AN EXPERT SYSTEM FOR SOLVENT-EXTRACTION OF RARE-EARTHS

An expert system for solvent extraction of rare earths has been developed using LISP. The goal of this project was to mimic the chemists' inferential abilities to assist in the process of solvent extraction of rare earths. The system includes frequently used extractants, separation of specific rare earths, recommendation of procedures for the separation of mixtures of rare earths using (2-ethylhexyl)phosphonic acid 2-ethylhexyl monoester, selection of parameters for counter-current extraction and methods for evaluation of the technique, and the economics of the processing. The expert system runs on an IBM-PC/XT.
