"""Effective carbon number (ECN) for flame-ionisation-detector response, from a SMILES string. Rules after Scanlon & Willis, J. Chromatogr. Sci. 23 (1985) 333 (aliphatic/aromatic C 1.0, olefinic 0.95, acetylenic 1.30, carbonyl C 0, nitrile C 0.3, ether O -1.0, primary/secondary/tertiary alcohol O -0.6/-0.75/-0.25, ester single-bonded O -0.25, carboxylic-acid OH -0.6 treated like a primary alcohol, amine N -0.6/-0.75/-0.25 by substitution, halogen on aliphatic C -0.12, on olefinic C +0.05). Atoms with no rule (S, P, nitro N, ...) contribute 0. The result is an approximation of published response factors, so every consumer tags it ``computed_ecn_scanlon_willis_1985``.
