Chemical table file

Chemical table file (CT file) is a family of text-based chemical file formats that describe molecules and chemical reactions. One format, for example, lists each atom in a molecule, the x-y-z coordinates of that atom, and the bonds among the atoms.

The formats were created by MDL Information Systems (MDL), which was acquired by Symyx Technologies then merged with Accelrys Corp., and now called BIOVIA, a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes of Dassault Group.

The CT file is an open format. BIOVIA publishes its specification. BIOVIA requires users to register to download the CT file format specifications.
