How does InChI represent salts?
Each separate, covalently bonded entity in a salt is treated independently. The information for each component is separated by ‘;’ in each layer. Note, however, that in keeping with common convention, in the chemical formula sub-layer of the Main layer the components are separated by a dot. InChI uses simple rules to separate these components if they are entered as a single entity. Click here for an explanation of the InChI definition of a salt.
