+For those who find it ``ugly\footnote{see \texttt{\detokenize{http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/161796/ugly-bond-joints-in-chemfig}}}'', it is now possible to join simple bonds with a slightly increased compilation time. The macro \idx\enablebondjoin{} enables this feature and \idx\disablebondjoin{} disables it (better behaviour, set by default).

+When a star follows the macro \verb|\ chemfig*|, the bonds have a fixed length and therefore, the distance between center to center atoms becomes variable. The macro \idx\enablefixedbondlength{} makes this behavior valid for all macros (starred or not) while \idx\disablefixedbondlength{} goes back to the default behavior.

Therefore the first group of atoms ``$\mathrm{H_3C}$'' is split into two atoms: $\boxednode{H_3}{}$ and $\boxednode C{}$. In terms of chemistry, of course, these are not real atoms; $\mathrm{H_3}$, for example, consists of three hydrogen atoms. In what follows the word atom refers to \CF's definition. Thus \CF sees the preceding molecule as follows:
\renewcommand*\printatom[1]{\fbox{\ensuremath{\mathrm{#1}}}}
-\molht{H_3C-[,1.75]C(=[:30,1.5]O)(-[:-30,1.5]OH)}}

It is important to note that the exponent \verb+-+ is \emph{put inside braces}. If this were not done, \CF would stop the atom on this character, which is a bond character. The atom would then be ``\verb-B^-'', which would lead to unexpected results.
-We see in the example above that is it sometimes necessary to increase (or perhaps reduce) the interatomic distance associated with a bond. For this, the optional argument to bonds is actually made up of several comma-separated fields. As we have seen, the first field specifies the angle.
-The second field, if it is not empty, is a coefficient which multiplies the default interatomic distance $\Delta$. Thus, writing \verb+-[,2]+ asks that this bond have the default angle (first field is empty) and that the atoms it connects be separated by twice the default distance\idx*{bond!length}.
+It is possible to change the behavior of \CF about the interatomic spacing. Indeed, when the \verb+\chemfig+ macro is immediately followed by a star, the macro \verb-\setatomsep{<dimension>}-\idx*{\setatomsep} no longer defines the distance between the centers of atoms, denoted $\Delta$, but \emph{length of the bonds}. Consequently, the bonds have fixed lengths while the distance between the centers of the atoms is variable and depends on their size.
