[Chimera-users] Small molecules and antechamber

I have several small organic molecules constructed in ChemDraw and converted
in Chem3D to .mol2 files. I can open them in Chimera but cannot seem to add
charges to. I was simply using the add charge menu commands and AM1-BCC and
assuming the structures would be read as nonstandard but antechamber reports
an error with residue ****. The error log has no real indication of what the
trouble might be. Are there additional steps I must take before assigning
charges? The structures already have hydrogens added. An example .mol2 file
is below:
