Hi, I would like to create a carbocation "database" from my existing database of unsaturated molecules.
The idea is as follows: For each double bond, I would like to attach one Hydrogen, for each carbon in the double bond. So for example, if I have a molecule with one double bond, I will end up with two different carbocations, if I have a molecule with 2 double bonds, I would like to get 4 different carbocations. I tried using GetSubstructMatch for ('C=C') and SetFormalCharge to 1. e.g: mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles('CC(C)C1=CC[C@H]2C(=C1)CC[C@@H]3[C@ @]2(CCCC3(C)C)C') func = Chem.MolFromSmiles('C=C') matches = mol.GetSubstructMatches(func) mol.GetAtomWithIdx(matches[0][1]).SetFormalCharge(1) The result is: CC(C)C1=[C+]C[C@H]2C(=C1)CC[C@H]1C(C)(C)CCC[C@@]12C I would like to get rid of the double bond. (and get CC(C)C1[C+]C[C@H]2C(=C1)CC[C@H]1C(C)(C)CCC[C@@]12C ) How can I do that? Thanks a lot in advance, Shani
