This looks good. Could we have a couple unit tests? I think there are some templates to copy. Can we do a round-trip (i.e. generate SMILES-like strings with X in, that reproduce the original molecule on import)?

This is working with the test code described above, so now I just need to put that into an actual unit test and it'll be ready to go. |
Unit tests added, but don't work yet because the SMILES string from the rdkit translator's to_smiles() uses 'Pt' instead of 'X'. Need to figure out where is the most appropriate place to make this final translation, but then it should be ready |
Some mission creep: RMG molecule had no way to distinguish between specific Pt atom and more general surface X atom. I wanted So, I added a specific Pt atom type with the intention of being able to add other metals later on. It passes my simple test cases, but now I need to clean up the PR and look for other places this might cause problems for RMG-cat. |
Richard's working on a related PR: #2701. The rdkit * might be a more elegant way of doing this than the Ar workaround |
Motivation or Problem
The issue is described here, #2603, but basically RDKit complains when you try to make a surface molecule using smiles.
Description of Changes
This PR adds a workaround where you initialize the molecule using Ar as a replacement for X to get the adjacency list and then remove the extra pairs of electrons and change Ar back to X to get the originally intended molecule.
Testing
Run this code to test out instantiating all the species in the Surface family training reactions:
