Dear all,

starting from ethanol with added Hs:

>>> m = Chem.AddHs(Chem.MolFromSmiles('CCO'))

the C atom of the CH2  group is indexed by "1" and is bound to H atoms indexed "6" and "7".

Replacing the H atom indexed "6" by a deuterium atom
>>> a = m.GetAtomWithIdx(6)
>>> a.SetIsotope(2)

creates an undefined asymmetric carbon atom:
>>> Chem.FindMolChiralCenters(m,force=True,includeUnassigned=True,useLegacyImplementation=False)
[(1, '?')]

How is it possible to create, starting from this molecule m, two molecules, m1 and m2, with opposite absolute configurations?

Many thanks in advance,

Jean-Marc
