Hi Maria,

Output 11 is certainly wrong (the SMARTS generated is incorrect).
I suspect this is happening because the molecule "coa" (input 3 in your
notebook) is constructed from SMARTS and includes ~ bonds (which match any
bond type). I almost think that the MCS code should be generated to fail in
these cases. Do you really need to construct the input molecules from
SMARTS?

Best,
-greg
