arXiv:2606. 30778v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mapping a chemical reaction network, the graph of minima and transition states (TS) and the elementary reactions connecting them, is the natural language of chemistry, from catalysis to combustion to the origin of life.
arXiv:2607. 08003v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Catalysts are essential for sustainable chemical manufacturing, yet discovering novel architectures remains a bottleneck dominated by trial-and-error experimentation and computationally intensive screening.
arXiv:2608. 06259v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reaction yield prediction remains challenging because labeled data are scarce and reaction space is both combinatorially large and sparsely populated, limiting the generalization of existing reaction representations.
Kinetic model discovery is a central challenge in chemical engineering, as accurate rate expressions are essential for understanding and controlling chemical and biological processes. Symbolic regression (SR) has emerged as a powerful data-driven approach for identifying interpretable kinetic models, but usually operates without domain knowledge, often exploring physicochemically implausible models.

arXiv:2608. 07454v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The total synthesis of a complex molecule is among the most demanding intellectual and experimental feats in chemistry: a chemist must plan many steps ahead for how to assemble simple building blocks into an intricate target, devise backup strategies, and anticipate procedural challenges.
arXiv:2602. 13136v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Template-free retrosynthesis methods treat the task as black-box sequence generation, limiting learning efficiency, while semi-template approaches rely on rigid reaction libraries that constrain generalization.
arXiv:2607. 12771v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reaction mechanisms consist of the step-by-step sequences of elementary reactions that explain chemical transformations.
arXiv:2608. 14076v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transition-state (TS) structures define the energetic barriers and mechanistic pathways of elementary chemical reactions, yet their identification remains computationally demanding because conventional saddle-point searches require expensive quantum-mechanical calculations.
arXiv:2607. 06224v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Designing microbial strains that produce high-value chemicals at commercially viable titers remains a central challenge in metabolic engineering.
arXiv:2606. 11256v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing molecules with target properties is most useful when candidate structures are accompanied by feasible synthetic routes.
arXiv:2608. 16111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrosynthesis is a cornerstone of drug discovery and organic synthesis.
Structure-property relationships are foundational to biology, chemistry and materials science, where function, reactivity and physical response emerge from spatial, chemical and periodic organization. Mechanistically explaining these relationships requires interpreting structural evidence through scientific principles and physical constraints, from stereochemistry and bonding to symmetry, energetics and periodic order.
