Create Solvent

Create a solvate 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.

Headers

EARLY-ACCESSstring

Request body

codestring nullable

Optional configurable identifier for this solvate (e.g., "H2O"). Must be unique (case-insensitive) across the Salt & Solvate library.

namestring required

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

smilesstring required

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

Response

Created

__typenamestring
archiveReasonstring nullable
archivedboolean
calculatedMolecularWeightnumber double nullable

The molecular weight of the solvent.

canonicalSmilesstring

The SMILES representation of the solvent after standardization.

codestring nullable

Optional company-specific identifier for this solvent (e.g., "MH", "DH"). Unique across both salts and solvents within a tenant.

createdAtstring datetime
idstring
modifiedAtstring datetime
molecularFormulastring

The molecular formula (e.g., "H2O").

molfilestring

The molfile representation of the solvent.
