Good day,

I wonder if somebody could please help me with the construction of a SMARTS 
query.

I am trying to search for compounds that have a five-membered ring attached to 
the para- position of an unsubstituted pyridine ring.

I have tried the following SMARTS expression:

[c1ccncc1]-!:aaaa-!:[r5]
However when I ran this SMARTS pattern it doesn't appear to be bringing back 
the expected structures.
I was also not sure how to specify explicit hydrogen atoms on the pyridine ring 
in the SMARTS expression.
I wonder if you could please help me with this query?  What is the best way to 
construct the necessary SMARTS?

Best regards,
David
