Interface ISequenceSubRule<ILigand>
- All Superinterfaces:
Comparator<ILigand>
- All Known Implementing Classes:
CIPLigandRule
Sequence sub rule used in the CIP method to decide which of the two ligands takes
precedence [Cahn, R.S. et. al.. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.. 1966. 5]. A list ordered based on these rules will be
sorted from low to high precedence.

Method Details
-
compare
Compares two ligands according to the particular sequence sub rule. It returns 1 if ligand1 takes precedence over ligand2, -1 if ligand2 takes precedence over ligand1, and 0 if they are equal.- Specified by:
compare
in interfaceComparator<ILigand>
- Parameters:
ligand1
- the first of the two ligands to compareligand2
- the second of the two ligands to compare- Returns:
- 1 if ligand1 is of higher precedence than ligand2, -1 if ligand2 is of higher precedence than ligan1, and 0 if they have equal precedence
