A new linear notation system is described which was designed to have a one‐to‐one correspondence with the chemical structures represented by the notations. Each notation is unique and unambiguous, yet simple and compatible with computer input and output characters. The symbols used in the notation system denote carbon in terms of bonds and attached hydrogen(s). The notation system is illustrated with acyclic, carbocyclic, and heterocyclic examples.
