    35This can also be used (in a somewhat unusual way) to generate alkanes of arbitrary length from a given one. Assume, we have a butane as given. We cut off the terminal hydrogens at either end and place them in files ''buildingblock_upper.xyz'' and  ''buildingblock_lower.xyz''.

    2630Then we may proceed as follows to produce a decane.
     
    5559And finally, we have a complete decane molecule.
