TLDR

The chemical space of molecules following simple rules of chemical stability and synthetic feasibility has been enumerated up to 13 atoms of C, N, O, Cl, S, forming the GDB‐13 database with 977 million structures, which is organized in a 42‐dimensional chemical space using molecular quantum numbers (MQN) as descriptors.
