  • struct (schrodinger.structure.Structure) – The organometallic complex

  • asl (str) – The ASL for finding metal atoms. Ignored if metals is given

  • metals (list of schrodinger.structure._StructureAtom) – Each item is a metal atom to search for binding ligands. Overrides the asl argument.

findBindingAtoms()

Make a list of all atoms that bind to metal atoms

addDummyAtoms()

Add a dummy atom to each binding atom. For eta ligands, a single dummy atom is added at the centroid of the eta atoms. For non-eta ligands, a dummy atom is added along the atom-metal bond vector.

addEtaDummy(group)

Put a dummy atom at the centroid of the haptic ligand

Parameters

group (list) – A list of atom objects that form the haptic ligand

addBinderDummy(atom)

Add a dummy atom on the atom-metal bond vector that will indicate the proper bond direction after the metal atom is deleted.

Parameters

atom (schrodinger.structure._StructureAtom) – An atom that is bound to the metal

createLigandStructures()

Create individual structures for each ligand. A ligand is defined as a molecule that remains intact after deleting the central metal atom.

static markRAtomValues(struct)
splitIntoLigands()

Split the metal complex into ligands

Return type

list

Returns

A list of schrodinger.structure.Structure objects, each one represents a unique ligand from the original complex. The ligands will have binding sites to the metal marked with dummy atoms

static getUniqueLigands(ligands, title=None)

Remove duplicate ligands

Parameters

ligands (list) – A list of schrodinger.structure.Structure objects, each one represents a ligand.

Return type

list

Returns

A list of schrodinger.structure.Structure objects, taken from the input ligands and with duplicates removed.

schrodinger.application.matsci.buildcomplex.are_duplicates(ref, comp, tolerance=1.0, check_optical=True)

Check if both compounds are duplicate structures. Uses canonical SMILES to detect structures with the same chemical bonding, then Works via actual XYZ coordinates to determine if the structures are duplicates. This is slow, but works for metal complexes.

Note: Requires compounds with reasonable (or consistent) 3D coordinates

Note: Rotomers of haptic ligands about the haptic axis are generally found

to be different compounds with the default tolerance of 1.0

Note: Has been tested and seems to work with coordination numbers of 3-6,

and monodentate, bidentate and haptic ligands

Note: Bonding around the metal atoms is canonicalized during the

comparison to ensure that metal single/dative/ZOB bonding is consistent between the two structures. This done on copies so that the passed-in structures are not modified.

Parameters
  • ref (schrodinger.structure.Structure) – The reference complex

  • comp (schrodinger.structure.Structure) – The structure to compare to the reference

  • tolerance (float) – The maximum displacement of any one atom before the compounds are considered different complexes

  • check_optical (bool) – If True, check for optical isomers (and consider them duplicates) by inverting comp about the first atom (assumed to be the metal atom) and performing the same RMSD check against ref. If False, no check is made.

Return type

bool

Returns

True if the compounds are found to be identical, False if not

Raises

ValueError – If there are fewer than 3 usable atoms for the superposiiton

class schrodinger.application.matsci.buildcomplex.ComplexConformerRmsd(reference_structure, test_structure=None, asl_expr='NOT atom.element H', in_place=True)

Bases: schrodinger.structutils.rmsd.ConformerRmsd

renumberWorkingStructures()

Renumber the working structure so that it has atoms in the same order as the reference structure
