Pentavalent nitrogen?

    Hello there,

    Running the current OMG release on Centos 6.2 with composition C5H3ClN2O2 and requiring the fragment ClCCC#N (SMILES) gives many structures with pentavalent nitrogens e.g. O(OC(=CC#N)Cl)N=1=CC1 . Has anyone else observed this? Any suggestions for avoiding it, or filtering them out of the SDF output?

    Thanks,

    Peter.

      Hi Peter,

      In the "MultiCore" implementation branch, there are more options available.

      • You can try "-filter" which removes some predefined "unusual"
        structures. This is done on-the-fly and may even speed-up the process.
        However, the filtered structures cannot be modified. I'm not sure if the
        structure you mentioned would match any of the predefined ones.

      • You can also try the "-badlist" option to specify your own list of "bad"
        structures that should be excluded. Note, however, that this filtering is
        done a posteriori, which means it adds (slightly) to the computation time.

      Regards
      Mahdi

      PS: Don't forget to cite the OMG and the PMG papers if you publish using
      the tools! ;)

        Hi Mahdi,

        Thanks - that's very helpful. Are those commands documented somewhere?

        Cheers,

        Peter.
