All bond orders given in the SMILES are, of course, taken for granted and used. The connectivity is not resolved, just taken from the SMILES string. What I wanted to point at, is those situations when SMILES are presented to the algorithm where *no* explicit bond orders are given. > 3. Return a fully connected molecules with correct bond orders The correct bond orders is the problem (if not explicitely given in the SMILES).
