"Chemical space" refers to the theoretical multidimensional space that represents all possible chemical compounds and their properties. Each point in this space corresponds to a unique chemical structure, which can be described by its molecular formula, structural formula, or other chemical descriptors. The concept is often used in cheminformatics, drug discovery, and materials science to explore and visualize the vast number of potential molecules that could exist, including those that have not yet been synthesized.
