I'm seeing lots of failures when minimising molecules using
MMFFOptimizeMolecule.
A large proportion of seemingly valid molecules seem to fail.
Am I doing something stupid here?
Example:
from rdkit import Chem
from rdkit.Chem import AllChem
molblock = '''
RDKit 3D
5 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0999 V2000
10.2630 -5.8010 25.0960 N 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

M END
'''
mol = Chem.MolFromMolBlock(molblock)
print("Processing", Chem.MolToSmiles(mol))
molh = Chem.AddHs(mol)
converged = AllChem.MMFFOptimizeMolecule(molh)
Outcome:
