Can you provide more details? For started when you use GraphPlot with
those rules you don't get a molecular structure you get 4 unconnected
lines so I think the file you imported to generate those rules is
unusual.

ref/format/SMILES

ChemicalData[] can be used to produce SMILES information but it
doesn't follow -- at least as far as I know -- that given the SMILES
information you can then identify the molecule in ChemicalData[] which
is what you appear to be wanting to do (???)
