Description

I have a mechanism with modified thermodynamic data.
When I try to merge the mechanism on the RMG website, this fails with an error.
The same is true for the mechanism visualisation.
The same mechanism is a valid chemkin file when tested in the chemkin interpreter.

The only error cause I can imagine are the empty high temperature coefficients.
Coefficients 2 to 5 are all 0.

Edit:
Oh, and the error message is also not helpful (in the spirit of issue 141). It just says "ups we made a mistake"...

Research direction

Start by reproducing the RMG website merge and visualisation failures with a mechanism whose high-temperature coefficients 2–5 are zero, then inspect the resulting error path. Done means valid Chemkin input is handled without failure and the website reports a useful error when it cannot process the mechanism.
