According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of determining a molecular structure of a compound includes obtaining a known molecular formula of the compound based on at least one of an observed spectrum and stoichiometric calculations. Edges that meet per-vertex constraints of the molecular formula are determined, and a plurality of candidate structures is generated based on the determined edges. The plurality of candidate structures are evaluated, and one candidate struc...
