This release brings some new additions and fixes:

• Polycyclic thermochemistry estimation improved:
  • polycyclic database reorganized and more entries added in systematic way (input.thermo.groups.polycyclic)
• Database entry accessibility tests:
  • Fixes existing inaccessible entries in solvation/statmech/thermo of RMG-database

RMG-database v.1.1.1

Merge pull request #119 from ReactionMechanismGenerator/fix_ipynb

update ipynb which uses generateThermoData

RMG-database v1.1.0

• New scripts in the form of ipython notebooks:

  • convertKineticsLibraryToTrainingReactions
  • fitPolycyclicThermoGroupsFromThermoLibrary

• Training reactions for reaction families

  • Intra_R_Add_Exocyclic
  • Intra_R_Add_Endocyclic
  • R_Addition_MultipleBond
  • intra_H_migration
  • H_shift_cyclopentadiene
  • R_Recombination

  derived from kinetics libraries

  • naphthalene_H
  • vinylCPD_H
  • C10H11
  • C3
  • Fulvene_H

• Update polycyclic groups in thermo database

• Give ranks to generic nodes (rank = 10 indicating very bad estimate) and aromatic nodes (rank = 1 so that RMG prioritizes it) so that they can be sorted in the thermo estimation algorithm in RMG-Py.

• Add Aromatic and Benzene groups to ring thermo groups with zero value to differentiate from non-aromatic monocyclics matching the generic Ring group.

• Diels_alder_addition: ban the benzyl radical isomers from reacting.

• Update reference for H_abstraction rule C/H3/Cs;O_rad/NonDeO entry

RMG-database v1.0.2

• New thermo group additivity values for oxitene, oxerene, oexpane, and furan ring groups
• Improvements to sulfur chemistry:
  • Restructuring of radical trees in the kinetics families SubstitutionS and intra_substitutionCS_cyclization
  • A reaction library for di-tert-butyl sulfide
• Improvements for the R_Addition_Multiple_Bond kinetics family through new rate rules for the addition of allyl radical to double bonds in ethene, propene, and butene-like compounds, based on CBS-QB3 estimates from K. Wang, S.M. Villano, A.M. Dean, "Reactions of allylic radicals that impact molecular weight growth kinetics", PCCP, 6255-6273 (2015).
• Several new thermodynamic and kinetics libraries for molecules associated with the pyrolysis of cyclopentadiene in the presence of ethene, based off of calculations from A.G. Vandeputte, S.S.
