Thanks, sounds good if its a simple fix to the .ToBinary() function. Simple if 
you know ;-) "Interesting" explanation about the rB0 values, are they used at 
all in the RDkit code or are they just historic remnants?

You've hit the nail on the head. I think it's "just" a matter of changing 
To/FromBinary() to use all 8 bits when serializing/deserializing. I also think 
I can make this change easily without affecting backwards compatibility, but 
I'm going to have to confirm that.
 
Also it would be best to start the atomic numbering of the pseudo atoms from 
147 so that it matches MDL ISIS draw and Proteax pseudo atom numbering, but 
RDkit assumes that the atomic numbering are forth running. I guess its possible 
to add a lot of placeholders in between 112 and 147, but is there another 
solution?

Unfortunately not. The periodic table data structure uses a vector to store the 
data which is indexed by atomic number.

Hmm, the origin of some of that stuff is almost lost in antiquity. Here's an 
explanation: https://sourceforge.net/p/openbabel/mailman/message/7048411/
