Thanks Paolo and Hannes for pointing me to sulfoxide. I am enlightened!

I assume this is something that every chemist knows, but it's not mentioned in 
the Daylight SMILES documentation (or the OpenSMILES documentation), so I had 
no clue. I wonder how many more cases there are like that.

Any idea then on why the following two have inverted chiralities?

  >>> Chem.CanonSmiles("CN[S@@](=O)C1=CC=CC=C1")
  'CN[S@@](=O)c1ccccc1'

   >>> Chem.CanonSmiles("C2.N23.[S@@]3(=O)C1=CC=CC=C1")
  'CN[S@](=O)c1ccccc1'




                                Andrew
