Dear Yingfeng,

The problem is the way the aromatic hetero cycles are encoded. They don't fit 
the aromaticity model RDKit is using.


For example that works with RDKit by default:
c1c[nH]cc1

But this does not:
c1cncc1

Try the sanifix4.py routine from James Davidson with your smiles.

It will fix the problem.

Best,
Markus

The original compound is
CCCc1nc2ccc(Cl)nc2n1-c1ccc(-c2ccc(-c3ccccc3Cc3nn[n-]n3)cc2)cc1

I used the code at the following link

http://code.google.com/p/rdkit/wiki/NeutralisingCompounds

, and got the neutralized compound

CCCc1nc2ccc(Cl)nc2n1-c1ccc(-c2ccc(-c3ccccc3Cc3nnnn3)cc2)cc1

But it has a problem,

mol = 
Chem.MolFromSmiles("CCCc1nc2ccc(Cl)nc2n1-c1ccc(-c2ccc(-c3ccccc3Cc3nnnn3)cc2)cc1")
[15:53:43] Can't kekulize mol

Could you please help me to check whether there is a workaround?

Thanks.

Yingfeng
