Isomeric Smiles no longer available via pubchem online #212

Description

@Jmegan042

Problem:

Fetching information from the online pubchem database now fails due to a removed field.

String urlname = "https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/rest/pug/compound/cid/" + idString + "/property/inchi,XLogP,InChIKey,MolecularFormula,IsotopeAtomCount,IsomericSMILES,MonoisotopicMass,IUPACName/CSV";

This field uses the IsomericSMILES parameter, which is no longer supported by pubchem (as of July 2025). Removal of this in the constructed URL confirms the other parameters are working as intended still.

Proposed solution:

Either remove this field from being hard coded in, or revise it to use the standard SMILES tag.
