      • setCharge

        void setCharge​(Integer charge)
        Sets the charge of this IMolecularFormula, since there is no atom associated with the charge the number of a given isotope is not modified.
         // Correct usage
         IMolecularFormula phenolate = MolecularFormulaManipulator.getMolecularFormula("C6H5O", builder)
         mf.setCharge(-1);
         // MF=C6H5O-
        
         // Wrong! the H6 is not automatically adjust
         IMolecularFormula phenolate = MolecularFormulaManipulator.getMolecularFormula("C6H6O", builder)
         mf.setCharge(-1);
         // MF=C6H6O- (wrong)
         
        If you wish to adjust the protonation of a formula try the convenience method of the MolecularFormulaManipulator:
         IMolecularFormula mf = MolecularFormulaManipulator.getMolecularFormula("[C6H5O]-", bldr);
         MolecularFormulaManipulator.adjustProtonation(mf, +1);
         MolecularFormulaManipulator.getString(mf); // "C6H6O"
         
        Parameters:
        charge - The partial charge
        See Also:
        getCharge()
      • getCharge

        Integer getCharge()
        Access the charge of this IMolecularFormula. If the charge has not been set the return value is null.
        Returns:
        the charge of this IMolecularFormula
        See Also:
        setCharge(java.lang.Integer)
      • getProperty

        <T> T getProperty​(Object description)
        Returns a property for the IChemObject - the object is automatically cast to the required type. This does however mean if the wrong type is provided then a runtime ClassCastException will be thrown.
        
        
             IAtom atom = new Atom("C");
             atom.setProperty("number", 1); // set an integer property
        
             // access the property and automatically cast to an int
             Integer number = atom.getProperty("number");
        
             // if the method is in a chain or needs to be nested the type
             // can be provided
             methodAcceptingInt(atom.getProperty("number", Integer.class));
        
             // the type cannot be checked and so...
             String number = atom.getProperty("number"); // ClassCastException
        
             // if the type is provided a more meaningful error is thrown
             atom.getProperty("number", String.class); // IllegalArgumentException
        
         
        Type Parameters:
        T - generic return type
        Parameters:
        description - An object description of the property (most likely a unique string)
        Returns:
        The object containing the property. Returns null if property is not set.

             atom.setProperty("number", 1); // set an integer property
        
             // access the property and automatically cast to an int
             Integer number = atom.getProperty("number");
        
             // if the method is in a chain or needs to be nested the type
             // can be provided

             // the type cannot be checked and so...
             String number = atom.getProperty("number"); // ClassCastException
        
             // if the type is provided a more meaningful error is thrown
             atom.getProperty("number", String.class); // IllegalArgumentException
