I admit I am not much of a chemist, I am a programmer, but the program
that generated the fragment, Mass Frontier, has the first molecule with
5 hydrogens rather than 7.  I was told this is correct due to the
positive charge on the carbon?  Does CDK not handle this sort of thing?
Or am I missing something?

thanks for all of your help
Dan
