What is xyz file? How to open xyz files?
File type specification:
The xyz file extension is commonly used for XMOL molecule model files. These are used in cheminformatics applications and on the web for storing and exchanging 3D molecule models.
The xyz file is stored in plain text tabular format. Represents a single chemical compound. Stores atomic coordinates and meta-information. This format does not store chemical bond information.
Developed in 1990 at the Minnesota Supercomputer Center.
MIME types:
chemical/x-xyz
