Is it that you are expecting to find the scalar cobstant as a function of addition data sets and molecular structure or only in terms of molecular structure. In the test file you have mentioned the atom id and the type of molecule so the out put has to be like you input the type of molecule and the atom id and you are expecting the scalar constant as an output?
