Post subject: Symbols not belonging to the periodic table
Link to postPosted: Wed Apr 23, 2008 6:57 pm  Reply with quote

If an atom is labeled with a symbol X or Et or R in a mol file, I get properties (e.g. charges) calculated by cxcalc for that atom. What do they mean? Which 'atomic symbols' are accepted by cxcalc? And by standardizer? An example goes below.

Hi,

The 'Et' atom in your molecule is a pseudo atom and is not handled correctly by the calculations. We should not calculate properties for pseudo atoms, it's a bug, we ill correct it.

Standardizer can handle correctly molecules with pseudo atoms. In JChem 5.1 a new action will be added to Standardizer which can convert pseudo atoms and alias atoms to abbreviated groups.
