The problem is this line:
>
core_smiles_2='C1=C/C2=C/c3ccc4n3[Zn]n3/c(cc/c3=C/C3=N/C(=C\4)C=C3)=C\C1=N2'
Python is interpreting the \4 as an escape sequence. You either need to
double the backslash or use an "r string" to protect the backslash from
being interpreted that way. That is, either of these should be fine:

core_smiles_2=r'C1=C/C2=C/c3ccc4n3[Zn]n3/c(cc/c3=C/C3=N/C(=C\4)C=C3)=C\C1=N2'

core_smiles_2='C1=C/C2=C/c3ccc4n3[Zn]n3/c(cc/c3=C/C3=N/C(=C\\4)C=C3)=C\C1=N2'
