Hi,
maybe I am a bit off topic but I would not have said that the
nitrogen containing ring is aromatic.
Of course, if all bonds are forced to be aromatic when they are
not necessarily, you may end up
with inconsistencies. A nitrogen in an aromatic ring should bear a
positive
charge when it bears an hydrogen atom (like in a pyridinium ion).
I doubt (but this is only my opinion) that Out[56] represents an
entity with a chemical reality.
The anthracene part in Out[58] could be drawn with aromatic bonds
(or a circle in the middle
of the two hexagons), but I think that the third ring must be left
with an explicit double bond.
All the best,
Jean-Marc

Hi,
Please see the attached image for (1) and (2).
1. If I render a molecule via 'SVG(svg)', I get the dotted
aromatic representation.
2. If I render it just by displaying 'MolFromSmiles(smi)', I get
the kekulized representation.
So I guessed that (for some reason) when SVG is used, RDKit
automatically uses the dotted representation.
3. However, if I display MolsToGridImage(mol, useSVG=True), I get
the kekulized form. (This method does not return an SVG, and
therefore I cannot display it using 'SVG(result)' ).
So I have several questions:
a. Is there a way to force MolsToGridImage to return the dotted
aromatic representation? Or to postprocess the result to achieve
this?
b. What is the underlying paradigm which dictates which
representation will be shown, and how can it be controlled?
c. What I would really like is the "circle" representation (i.e.,
benzene as a hexagon with a circle inside). Can this be achieved,
and if so, how?
Thank you,
-P.
