Dear OpenBabel discussion forum,

I would like to raise two questions:

1) I would like to generate 3D structures from a smiles input - but when I try creating imidazole with "Generate 3D coordinates" ticked:
c1cnc[nH]1
I only get the attached awkward 3D sdf.
The error is reproducable with OpenBabel versions 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 (I use Windows 7). I just installed the OpenBabel2.3.1_Windows_Installer.exe and there's really not many things one can do wrong it seems.

2) If task 1 is working I would like to be able to use a smiles list and a corresponding list of names as input for OpenBabel and get one 3D-sdf file for every smiles with the appropriate name (instead of 1.sdf, 2.sdf,...). So far I only found out how to get a name into the header of the respective sdf file - but I would like each and every sdf file to be named appropriately.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance,
Kai
