Hi Greg, Apologies for resurrecting a rather old thread, but I have been investigating the Q32010_1beta1 release on a set of commercial amines (from ACD) and came across the 'hypervalent P' issue as well.

With the new release currently in beta, I wondered whether this would be a good time to consider if the change you suggest above for P should make it into the release code(?) Having said that, I am expecting that your comment "it is currently impossible to really work with this hypervalent molecule in the RDKit" suggests that a robust solution is not as simple as just changing the allowed valence list... Anyway, what I was finding from my list of amines was that the hexafluorophosphate counterion [PF6]- was triggering the error. Not a particularly common counterion - so I can certainly live without(!) - but not particularly esoteric either :-) Kind regards James ______________________________________________________________________ PLEASE READ: This email is confidential and may be privileged.
