public class RepeatingUnitSgroup
extends Sgroup

Source-based and structure-based representation of repeating unit groups (polymers and repeating units with repetition ranges).

Source and structure structure-based representation of polymers.
The polymer structure consists of structural fragments. These fragments are enclosed by polymer brackets. The meaning of an SRU bracket is that the fragment within the brackets can repeat with itself. The fragment within the bracket is called repeating unit. Each SRU S-group has two or more dedicated bonds, called crossing bonds, that cross the brackets. The crossing bonds of an SRU show how the repeating units may connect in several ways to each other within the polymer. Depending on the number of crossing bonds and brackets we differentiate the following polymers and connectivities within the polymer:

• Polymers with two crossing bonds.

  If the polymer has one crossing bond on each bracket of the SRU there are three possibilities for the repeating pattern:

  • head-to-tail
  • head-to-head
  • either/unknown
• Ladder-Type Polymers

  Polymers with paired brackets and with two crossing bonds on each bracket are called ladder-type polymers. Here it must be specified how the two crossing bonds on each bracket connect to the corresponding bonds of the adjoining repeating units. Additionally to the head-to-tail, head-to-head connectivity information there is a flip information to specify whether the repeating unit flips around the polymer backbone when it connects to the adjoining SRU. This information is handled only in case of brackets with exactly two crossing bonds on both side (head and tail side). We differentiate the following polymer connectivities:

  • head-to-tail with no flip
  • head-to-tail with flip
  • head-to-head with no flip
  • head-to-head with flip
  • either/unknown
• Polymers with three or more brackets.

  If the polymer has three or more bonds with a separated bracket on each bond, the polymer always has the either/unknown repeating pattern.

The end groups of polymers are often unknown or unspecified which are represented by star atoms (*).

Repeating units with repetition ranges.

Implemented S-group types:

• Sgroup.ST_ANY
• Sgroup.ST_SRU
• Sgroup.ST_COPOLYMER
• Sgroup.ST_CROSSLINK
• Sgroup.ST_GRAFT
• Sgroup.ST_MODIFICATION
