RDKit is a comprehensive cheminformatics library providing Python APIs for molecular analysis and manipulation. This skill provides guidance for reading/writing molecular structures, calculating descriptors, fingerprinting, substructure searching, chemical reactions, 2D/3D coordinate generation, and molecular visualization. Use this skill for drug discovery, computational chemistry, and cheminformatics research tasks. Reading Molecules: Read molecular structures from various formats: Writing Molecules: Convert molecules to text representations: Batch Processing: For processing multiple molecules, use Supplier/Writer objects: Important Notes: All MolFrom functions return None on failure with error messages Always check for None before processing molecules Molecules are automatically sanitized on import (validates valence, perceives aromaticity) RDKit automatically sanitizes molecules during parsing, executing 13 steps including valence checking, aromaticity perception, and chirality assignment. Sanitization Control: Common Sanitization Issues: Atoms with explicit valence exceeding maximum allowed will raise exceptions Invalid aromatic rings will cause kekulization errors Radical ele
