Thanks, Jan,
the dative bond works in a number of cases with other metals. (rdkit
2021.9.5)
This one works fine:

rdmol = Chem.MolFromSmiles('[O-]->[Fe+2]<-[O-]', sanitize=True)  #
case 1 coordinate bonds
assert rdmol is not None

this one with Mg divalent does not

rdmol = Chem.MolFromSmiles('[O-]->[Mg+2]<-[O-]', sanitize=True)  #
case 1 coordinate bonds
assert rdmol is not None



can you read in the smiles you sent me? I can't
I am doing anything wrong here?
cheers,
m

rdmol = Chem.MolFromSmiles('C1CO->[Fe+2](O)(<-OC1)(<-O)(<-O)(<-O))=O',
sanitize=True)  # case 1 coordinate bonds
assert rdmol is not None
print(rdmol)
