The RDKit does not recognize three-coordinate sulfur as a stereogenic atom; it should. This is a bug (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3453172&group_id=160139&atid=814650). I'm not really sure how much effort this is going to be to fix, so I'm not sure it will be fixed before the next release. -greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.
