Hi Jim,
you can indeed enumerate all Kekulè structures for a molecule within the
RDKit using Chem.ResonanceMolSupplier():
from rdkit import Chem
mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles('c1ccccc1')
suppl = Chem.ResonanceMolSupplier(mol, Chem.KEKULE_ALL)
len(suppl)
2
for i in range(len(suppl)):
print (Chem.MolToSmiles(suppl[i], kekuleSmiles=True))
C1C=CC=CC=1
C1=CC=CC=C1
Best,
Paolo

Greg,
Thanks! Yes, very helpful. I will need to digest the detailed
information
you have provided. I am somewhat familiar with recursive SMARTS. Thanks
again.

Greg,
I need to be able to use SMARTS patterns to identify
substructures in molecules
that can be aromatic, and I need to be able to handle cases where
there can be
differences in the way that the molecule was entered or drawn by a
user.
That particular problem is a big part of the reason that we tend to
use the aromatic representation of things.
For example, consider the following alkenyl-substituted
pyridine, there
are two possible Kekule structures
m1 = 'C=CC1=NC=CC=C1'
m2 = 'C=CC1N=CC=CC1'
Fixing what I assume is a typo for m2, I can do the following:
In [11]: m1 = Chem.MolFromSmiles('C=CC1=NC=CC=C1')
In [12]: m2 = Chem.MolFromSmiles('C=CC1N=CC=CC=1')
In [13]: q1 = Chem.MolFromSmarts('cccc')
In [14]: q2 = Chem.MolFromSmarts('cccn')
In [15]: list(m1.GetSubstructMatch(q1))
Out[15]: [2, 7, 6, 5]
In [16]: list(m1.GetSubstructMatch(q2))
Out[16]: [6, 5, 4, 3]
In [17]: list(m2.GetSubstructMatch(q1))
Out[17]: [2, 7, 6, 5]
In [18]: list(m2.GetSubstructMatch(q2))
Out[18]: [6, 5, 4, 3]
Those particular queries were going for the aromatic species and will
only match inside the ring, but if you want to be more generic you
could tune your queries like this:
In [28]: q3 =
Chem.MolFromSmarts('[#6;$([#6]=,:[*])]-,=,:[#6;$([#6]=,:[*])]-,=,:[#6;$([#6]=,:[*])]-,=,:[#6;$([#6]-=,:[*])]')
In [29]: q4 =
Chem.MolFromSmarts('[#6;$([#6]=,:[*])]-,=,:[#6;$([#6]=,:[*])]-,=,:[#6;$([#6]=,:[*])]-,=,:[#7;$([#7]-=,:[*])]')
In [30]: list(m1.GetSubstructMatch(q3))
Out[30]: [0, 1, 2, 7]
In [31]: list(m1.GetSubstructMatch(q4))
Out[31]: [0, 1, 2, 3]
In [32]: list(m2.GetSubstructMatch(q3))
Out[32]: [0, 1, 2, 7]
In [33]: list(m2.GetSubstructMatch(q4))
Out[33]: [0, 1, 2, 3]
If you aren't familiar with recursive SMARTS, this construct:
"[#6;$([#6]=,:[*])]" means "a carbon that has either a double bond or
an aromatic bond to another atom". So you can interpret q3 as "four
carbons that each have either a double or aromatic bond and that are
connected to each other by single, double, or aromatic bonds".
Is this starting to approximate what you're looking for?
-greg
Now consider two SMARTS
pattern1 = '[C]=[C]-[C]={C]
pattern2 = '[C]=[C]-[C]=[N]'
I need to be able to detect the existence of each pattern in
the molecule
If m1 is the only available generated Kekule structure, then
pattern2 will be recognized.
If m2 is the only available generated Kekule structure, then
pattern1 will be recognized.
Hence, I am getting different answers for the same input
molecule just because
it was drawn in different Kekule structures.

Jim Metz

Hi Jim,
The code currently has no way to enumerate Kekule structures. I
don't recall this coming up in the past and, to be honest, it
doesn't seem all that generally useful.
Perhaps there's an alternate way to solve the problem; what are
you trying to do?

Hello,
Suppose I read in an aromatic SMILES e.g., for benzene
c1ccccc1
I would like to generate the major canonical resonance forms
and save the results as two separate molecules. Essentially
I am trying to generate
m1 = 'C1=CC=CC-C1'
m2 = 'C1C=CC=CC1'
Can this be done in RDkit? I have found a KEKULE_ALL
option in the detailed documentation which seems to be what I
am trying to do, but I don't understand how this option is to
be used,
or the proper syntax.
If it is necessary to somehow renumber the atoms and re-generate
Kekule structures, that is OK. Thank you.
Regards,
Jim Metz
