 //**Compounds**// refer to chemical compounds that can be represented by multiple molecular structures, i.e. with multiple tautomeric and protonation forms. Their [[stereonotations|stereo configuration]] can be well-defined as well as fully or partially unknown / undefined, similarly to the case of //structures//.

 Chemical structures with different stereo configurations are distinguished at all specification levels. Depending on the stereo configuration type, they represent a single isomer or a set of potential isomers and/or mixtures of isomers. (figure) Their stereo configurations are treated identical if and only if the represented isomers / set of isomers are identical. If the configuration differs, the chemical structures are treated as different database entries.
