New from our lab #compchemsky #chemsky
New paper out in PNAS Nexus!

Molecules aren’t flat — so why should our models be?🧬

Our latest work "Stereochemistry-aware string-based molecular generation,” explores how considering stereochemistry changes the way machine learning models design molecules.

A failure case for deep-learning potential: the TS1 geometry is so weird that UMA and Orb-v3 underestimate the barrier by ~15 kcal/mol, likely because it far from the training set. Handling chemical reactions is extremely hard for general deep learning models.

Some non-MOF content today to clean your palate.

Want 70x fast, 2x accurate Hessians for any equivariant machine learning force field? We got you!

#compchemsky #chemsky #machinelearning #mlff
What do transition state search, geometry relaxation, zero point energy corrections, and extrema classification have in common? They all require Hessians!

The problem is, accurate Hessians are really expensive, even with MLIPs. We say, just shoot 'em from the HIP! 🤠

Tested out some water clusters during lunch.
- MMFF94 has point charges and hydrogen bonds
- UFF does not (so water molecules push apart)

At some point I'll add some simple dynamics…

From @maxdietz.bsky.social and Simon Aldridge’s group, an example of a main-group tin-carbonyl complex (@science.org).

Above 0 degrees Celsius, this CO complex rearranges to form a tin carbene complex.
