The reagents Command

The reagents command displays a list of reactants required to produce the specified molecule passed as an argument. It’s essentially like saying, “give me the reactions that can produce this molecule.”

In this overview, I’ll be using the example Mol document from earlier sections. Your output may differ if you import more data.

Example for water:

mol reagents H2O

Output:

[H2SO4, KI, H2O2] -> H2O
[KMnO4, H, H2C2O4] -> H2O
[H2CO3, CaOH2] -> H2O
[CH3COOH, NaOH] -> H2O
[H2SO4, KOH] -> H2O
[CO2, CaOH2] -> H2O
[CuO, H2] -> H2O
[H2, O2] -> H2O
[H2O2] -> H2O
[NaOH, HCl] -> H2O
[O2, CH3] -> H2O

Example for CO2:

[KMnO4, H2C2O4, H] -> CO2
[O2, CO] -> CO2
[C, O2] -> CO2
[CaCO3] -> CO2
[O2, CH3] -> CO2
