Dear Chris,

Fingerprints being lossy encodings of molecules:
it is possible that different molecules end-up
with the same fingerprint.

If you use an unfolded-counted fingerprint (instead of folded-uncounted, usually),
this "funny" event should occur less frequently.

Another possibility might be to use a fingerprints with more bits.
Which fingerprint are you using by the way?

Regards,
F.

Is it expected or is there any easy explanation why three different
