O=C=C=C=O thermo #476

Thermo group additivity estimation for O=C=C=C=O (https://rmg.mit.edu/database/thermo/molecule/1%20O%20u0%20p2%20c0%20%7B2,D%7D%0A2%20C%20u0%20p0%20c0%20%7B1,D%7D%20%7B3,D%7D%0A3%20C%20u0%20p0%20c0%20%7B2,D%7D%20%7B4,D%7D%0A4%20C%20u0%20p0%20c0%20%7B3,D%7D%20%7B5,D%7D%0A5%20O%20u0%20p2%20c0%20%7B4,D%7D%0A)

is significantly off from ATcT (https://atct.anl.gov/Thermochemical%20Data/version%201.122p/species/?species_number=279).

H298 from GAV is +34 kcal/mol and ATcT H298 is -22 kcal/mol.

We can add O=C=C=C=O to a thermo library (perhaps primaryThermoLibrary), but we should look into thermo groups more closely to see if this error is systematic for these types of molecules

PR is thermo groups using this PR branch https://github.com/ReactionMechanismGenerator/RMG-database/pull/473 which adds a Cdd-(Cdd-O2d)Cds group

davidfarinajr commented 3 years ago

Seems to be a systematic issue with O=C=C...C=O molecules. Both the master and PR branches are quite poor at O=C=C=C=O so that could be added to thermo library, but the PR branch looks like it's better for the other molecules, especially for entropy, than the master branch.

Is this issue fully addressed by #478 and #473 and other thermo group improvements? can it be closed?
