Why We Should Drop (Graph-based) Bond Order and No Longer Use Aromaticity Written by: David Mobley, PhD OpenFF force fields assign parameters based on queries operating on the chemical graph for molecules, via the SMARTS language. This language is rather flexible, leaving ...

we have a blog - and there's some great stuff on it!

check out this post by David Mobley. who knows, maybe we can say bye to aromaticity in our force fields?
