I wrote: It's possible that the algorithm could be adapted to include N atom aromaticity. That could actually be very interesting. I think it might work for the tetrazole. I wonder if the simple rule that N with two aromatic singles and no double would be OK provided the valency is 3. Might work.... Of course protonated amines obey a C rule....
Indeed! Two tiny inclusions for N in the logic make this all you need, Rolf. (Jmol 11.3.30) load http://www.fli-leibniz.de/ImgLibPDB/tmp/061.cif script http://www.fli-leibniz.de/ImgLibPDB/tmp/061.jmz select (C33 or O34) connect aromatic modify # add C=O to aromatic set. calculate aromatic If you can test this on a variety of heteroatom systems and report back to us, that would be great. Should also work for protonated systems, provided the formal charge of +1 is present for N. Bob -- Robert M.
