SD files do not have info on the number of implicit hydrogens, making
the field set to UNKNOWN (null). The
convertImplicitToExplicitHydrogens has nothing to convert yet; I'd
guess you simply have to calculate the number of implicit hydrogens
first?

SMILES on the other hand *does* specify the number of implicit
hydrogens (implicitly, of course), but it's part of the standard... so
the SmilesParser does atom type detection, calculate number of
implicit hydrogens, and actually aromaticity detection too... The
values now being set, the convert() method has something to convert...

Rajarshi, can you please verify this hypothesis?
