Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.
An atom or connected group treated as a recurring unit that organizes characteristic reactivity and nomenclature across different molecular frameworks.
source: Describes / governs; target: Described / governed by

constrains recurring connectivity patterns
Authored explanation
Valence rules constrain common functional-group connectivity and charge patterns, with expanded valence, hypervalent descriptions, radicals, metals, and delocalization requiring qualified models.
How to interpret this relation type
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
The carbonyl group is a functional-group motif defined by a carbon–oxygen double-bond framework; substituents and charge state determine whether a particular molecule is classified as an aldehyde, ketone, acid derivative, or another class.
How to interpret this relation type
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
Infrared bands can support a functional-group assignment when mode coupling, hydrogen bonding, phase, concentration, symmetry, overlap, and reference spectra are considered.
How to interpret this relation type
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
Chemical shifts, couplings, integrations, exchange, and multidimensional correlations can support a functional-group assignment, but values remain solvent-, temperature-, conformation-, and structure-dependent.
How to interpret this relation type
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.

forms a recurring reactive substructure
Authored explanation
A functional group is a structural component used to organize recurring reactivity in organic compounds, while the molecular environment modifies its electronic and steric behavior.
How to interpret this relation type
The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.
