Abstract

Structural diagrams which depict stereochemistry have been used in the structural drawings for organic chemistry. In general, plain lines depict bonds approximately in the plane of the drawing; bonds to atoms above the plane are shown with a bold wedge (starting from an atom in the plane of the drawing at the narrow end of the wedge); and bonds to atoms below the plane are shown by broken lines. In the cases of the broken lines, they are typically used in three different ways. 1. Narrow end as being in the plane of the drawing (Method A). 2. Short parallel lines (Method B). 3. Narrow end as furthest from the viewer (Method C). We investigated which method has been mainly used. Although IUPAC recommends Method B, most chemists have recently used Method A in the chemical journals.
