Preferred Label : line formula;
IUPAC definition : A two-dimensional representation of molecular entities in which atoms are shown joined
by lines representing single or multiple bonds, without any indication or implication
concerning the spatial direction of bonds. For example, methanol is represented as:
(The term should not be confused with the representation of chemical formulae by the
'Wiswesser line notation', a method of string notation. Formulae in this notation
are also known as 'Wiswesser line formulae'.);
