Problem:
How many compounds does it support?
Can I get a list of all the compounds it supports?
Why can't I get a list of all compounds it supports?
Solution:
The number of compounds supported by Name/Structure is literally
infinite. As a simple case, consider:
ethanol
2-ethoxyethanol
2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)-ethanol
2-(2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethoxy)-ethanol
etc, where you can keep adding another CH3CH2O to the end of the chain,
forever. Since Name/Structure handles an infinite number of names (of
which this is just one example), it is impossible to get a list of "all
compounds it supports", and it is impossible even to give a number.
