SynKit
Graph-native reaction informatics and executable electron-flow models
SynKit is a Python toolkit for atom mapping, chemical graph transformations, reaction rules, stereochemistry, and chemical reaction networks. It also represents Lewis-labelled graphs and verifies user-supplied electron-flow mechanisms. It does not predict the kinetically or thermodynamically preferred mechanism.
Installation
Requires Python 3.11 or later.
python -m pip install synkit
See Getting Started for examples, optional dependencies, and Docker installation.
