Oct 17, 2019 at 1:39 comment added Geoff Hutchison I'm not sure what you mean by 'rejected the entry' but if you have questions, feel free to contact me outside of Chem.SE. Suffice to say that neither of these compounds can be treated with regular Hückel.
Oct 17, 2019 at 1:38 comment added Geoff Hutchison I'm not quite sure why that particular SMILES wouldn't generate conformers from RDKit (sounds like a bug), but you can in Open Babel.
Oct 16, 2019 at 23:54 comment added Blade Not necessarily. Take 'CC12CCC1CC2' for instance, RDKit gives zero conformations. I tried using original QM9 database that you once referenced, but then for smiles like 'C[C@@H](C[NH3])C(=O)[O]' it rejected the entry.

Oct 16, 2019 at 22:40 comment added Geoff Hutchison You could always generate a conformer from the SMILES and use extended Hückel - my guess is that it's a lot more accurate and useful. (Simple Hückel is really only useful for $\pi$ conjugation)
