UniChem XYZ chemical modeller input file

File type: Various data file

A .unixyz file is an input file for the UniChem chemical modelling software.

It contains molecular structure data in an XYZ-style representation for use during chemical modelling.

What is unixyz file?

File type category:
Various data file

Date updated: September 27, 2026

The UniChem XYZ chemical modeller input file belongs to UniChem, a specialist chemical modelling program. The format is intended to provide molecular structure information to the software.

The file normally represents a molecule using atom identifiers and three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates. UniChem reads this information as input when creating or processing a molecular model.

How to open unixyz file?

Open a .unixyz file with UniChem, the chemical modelling program for which it was created. Use the program's file-open or import command and select the UNIXYZ input format if it is not detected automatically.

Because this is a specialized input format, a general text editor may display its contents but will not interpret the molecular structure or provide useful modelling functions.

How to convert unixyz file?

A UNIXYZ file is an input format, so conversion should normally be performed from within UniChem, using its import or export commands and a molecular-structure format supported by that installation.

If UniChem is unavailable, conversion is only practical when another chemistry program explicitly supports this input format.
