Salt

Create Salt

Create a salt in the tenant's Salt & Solvate library.

The Salt & Solvate library requires the salt and solvate forms feature to be enabled on your tenant; contact your Benchling representative to turn it on. Creating an entry requires tenant admin permissions. Structures are neutralized (uncharged) on creation and are immutable afterwards. The library is limited to 2000 non-archived entries, and each structure is limited to 50 atoms. Names, structures, and the optional code must each be unique (case-insensitive for names and codes) across all salts and solvates in the tenant. Archived entries still reserve their name and structure, so an archived match must be unarchived rather than recreated.

Request body

codestring nullable

Optional configurable identifier for this salt (e.g., "HCl"). Must be unique (case-insensitive) across the Salt & Solvate library.

namestring required

The name of the salt. Must be unique (case-insensitive) across the Salt & Solvate library.

smilesstring required

The SMILES of the salt. It is neutralized (uncharged) before storage, and the canonical SMILES and molecular formula are derived from it. Immutable after creation.

Response

canonicalSmilesstring

The SMILES representation of the salt after standardization.

codestring nullable

Optional configurable identifier for this salt (e.g., "HCl", "MS"). Unique across both salts and solvents within a tenant.

createdAtstring datetime
idstring
modifiedAtstring datetime
molecularFormulastring
