The following three different SMARTS strings represent the same structure - at least when depicting it (e.g. at Uni Hamburg Smarts viewer).
Also, the chemical structure represented in SMILES leads to only one string, at least only one I can think of.
Now, I do know the differences between SMARTS and SMILES, and I do know what the symbols in SMARTS mean. Still, I tried several softwares to find any differences in the use between SMARTS and SMILES representation for that specific case, and couldn't find any.
So I wonder if I could use SMILES in that case, or if there's any danger of missing information, for example when searching for substructures?
