Hi, maybe I have to rephrase a little.
With respect to fluoro - the best way to put it would be: ... if at all I would reduce it to aromatic fluoro only ... Hence, personally I would leave th fluoro out of the general acceptor definition. I know there is cases where you find them but the frequency is really not comparable to things like carbonyls or similar (i.e. the rest of your query). Maybe something like a "useFluoro" flag which is by default set to false? Hope that clarifies things a little.

The definition of NumHAcceptors will be modified (modifications discussed below). I won't make any changes to the NOCount or NHOHCount descriptors or introduce new names for them. The new names would conceivably break existing code and wouldn't really contribute to clarity of future code, so the change doesn't seem worth making. For the purposes of fixing the more complex HAcceptor descriptor I propose the following SMARTS: HAcceptorSmarts = Chem.MolFromSmarts('[$([O,S;H1;v2]-[!$(*=[O,N,P,S])]),\ $([O,S;H0;v2]),$([O,S;-]),\ $([N;v3;!$(n-...@[o,N,P,S])]),\ $([nH0,o,s;+0]),\ $(F-a)]') There are two changes here relative to the current definition: the third line and the last one. The third line includes nitrogens that have three neighbors and that are not connected to another atom that has a non-ring double bond to O, N, P, or S. The last line includes Fs that are connected to an aromatic atom.
