incorrect pKa

JChem incorrectly calculates the pKa of the N+ in [H]C1(C=CC(C=C1)=[N+](C)C)\N=N\C1=CC=CC=C1 as 7.1.


Interestingly enough, remove the Ph group, and it correctly gives no basic pKa for that N, even though the Ph is distant from the N+ and isolated from it electronically.

Hi,


Which version of JChem have  you got ? 


I have tried the free Marvin's pKa calculator at this site http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/sketch/index.php


and no basic pKa calculated for the "N+".

I apologize, the error is ours, not JChem's.
