"""Create an atomic structure from a database.
This is a helper function to easily create molecules from the g2 and
extra databases.
Parameters
----------
name : str
Name of the molecule to build.
vacuum : float, optional
Amount of vacuum to pad the molecule with on all sides.
Additional keyword arguments (kwargs) can be supplied, which are passed
to ase.Atoms.
Returns
-------
ase.atoms.Atoms
An ASE Atoms object corresponding to the specified molecule.
Notes
-----
To see a list of allowed names, try:
