Incorrect Polarizability Assignment for PC Molecule in poltype2 (Possibly Related to Aromatic Ring Detection Issue) #89

Hello,

I am using poltype2 to generate AMOEBA parameters for a PC (propylene carbonate) molecule.
However, I found that incorrect polarizability values are being assigned, especially for atoms within the ring (O and C atoms). For example, poltype2 currently assigns values such as:

polarize 404 1.6620 0.3900 (should be Oar 0.832260743)
polarize 405 1.6620 0.3900 (should be Oar 0.832260743)
polarize 407 1.6620 0.3900 (should be Osp2c 0.913766949)

These incorrect values suggest that the PC ring atoms are being improperly detected or assigned.
This may be related to the previously reported issue:
Bug Report: Incorrect Aromatic Ring Detection and Parameter Assignment #82

Additional Concern
I also noticed a slight discrepancy between polarizability values assigned by poltype2 and the values in amoeba21polarize.prm. For example:

polarize 406 2.0730 0.3900 404 405 407

But according to amoeba21polarize.prm, the value should be approximately 2.064511770 (~2.0645).
Why does poltype2 assign a different value here?

I have attached the related files for reference.
Thank you for your support.
