Re: ChemicalData[], SMILES, EdgeRules

If you can convert the SMILES string to a molecular formula in Hill 
display order (I think), then you can use ChemicalData on this string. 
For example:

In[19]:= Pick[ChemicalData["C10H16"], ChemicalData["C10H16", "SMILES"], 
"CC1=CCC2CC1C2(C)C"]

Out[19]= {"PlusMinusAlphaPinene", "AlphaPinene", "PlusAlphaPinene", 
"MinusAlphaPinene"}
