Type of format:chemical file format
Associated data items are denoted as follows:
> <Unique_ID>XCA3464366 > <ClogP>5.825> <Vendor>Sigma> <Molecular Weight>499.611Some programs that can import SDF files (e.g. ISIS/Base) require that the first data field after the molecule data (in the example above, Unique_ID) be a unique identifier for each record.
Multiple data items are permitted on multiple lines.[clarification needed] The MDL SDF-format specification requires that a hard-carriage-return character be inserted into any text field whose content exceeds 200 characters. This requirement is frequently violated in practice, as many SMILES and InChI strings exceed that length.
简单来讲,SDF文件就是一个化学表格文件。
