QCElemental Molecule Format Error

Hello everyone, I’m parametrizing the ANP-PNP molecule with FFParam. Im on the step of fitting bonded parameters. When executing the QM Bond/Angle/Dihedral PES input files with Psi4 Im getting an error when the code reaches mol=psi4.geometry(psi4_xyz) and cant figure out how to fix it.

The error is: *** qcelemental.exceptions.MoleculeFormatError: Unprocessable Molecule remnants under [psi4, xyz, xyz+, psi4+]:
And a list of atoms with their xyz positions.

The input file is called anp_bondscan_o2bpb.py
The file with the coordinates is called anp_bondscan_o2bpb_xyz.py
Both are attached.

Just to get the full error:

Im using conda 4.10.3, psi-rt 1.5, psi 1.5+e9f4d6d, qcelemental 0.24.0, python 3.9.7
The old psi4 version is needed, due to psi4 output differences in new versions and FFParam parsers.

Thank you for your time!

Psi4 doesn’t recognize atom labels such as O1G. Current Psi4 recognizes either O1 or O_1G but not O1G. I don’t know what your version of Psi recognizes, but it’s almost certainly the same pattern. Primes are definitely not recognized.

The technical atom specification may be found here, at time of writing.
