The Chemical MIME Home Page

This page provides a concise entry point for various information sources relating to chemical MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension). This page is present for historical reasons only. Please visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_file_format for the current version.

Background: This project started in January 1994, and was first announced during the Chemistry workshop at the First WWW International Conference, held at CERN in May 1994. The first version of an Internet draft was published during May-October 1994, and the second revised version during April-September 1995. A paper presented to the CPEP (Committee on Printed and Electronic Publications) at the IUPAC meeting in August 1996 is available for discussion.

New: The openBabel Project now supports chemical MIME: http://openbabel.sf.net/Roadmap.shtml
New: The Chemical Markup Language (CML) project is the natural and complementary evolution of the Chemical MIME project: http://cml.sourceforge.net/
