text: user3061: What is the best python tool to convert a SDF file to a structured data frame (pandas.DataFrame). Similar to Molconvert from ChemAxon? SDF can have different datafields for each compound which I would like to have in a dataframe. The 2D or 3D structures can be disregarded.
  
  user3061: It is easily done with RDKit:
  from rdkit.Chem import PandasTools
  
  fn = '/mypath/dataset.sdf'
  
  df = PandasTools.LoadSDF(fn, embedProps=True, molColName=None, smilesName='smiles')
