arXiv:2606. 17445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inverse design of heterogeneous catalysts remains challenging because catalyst surfaces exhibit substantial structural complexity with coupled surface-adsorbate interactions across a vast chemical space that is difficult to explore efficiently through conventional screening alone.
arXiv:2607. 24272v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The vast chemical design space and complex, interdependent design variables make catalyst discovery for targeted properties highly labor- and resource-intensive.
The vast chemical design space and complex, interdependent design variables make catalyst discovery for targeted properties highly labor- and resource-intensive. Although generative models have emerged as a promising solution, existing approaches are generally limited to single-property conditioning or narrow chemical spaces.
arXiv:2607. 11712v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inverse design is an emerging data-driven paradigm for efficiently navigating vast chemical spaces to discover new materials with targeted properties, and in the context of heterogeneous catalysis, surface generative models have recently advanced this goal by directly generating catalyst surface-adsorbate structures.
The paper introduces a method that learns dynamic reaction representations directly from textual descriptions using a fine‑tuned language model coupled with Gaussian process surrogates. This approach enables multi‑objective Bayesian optimisation for chemical reactions, achieving faster convergence than traditional descriptor libraries or one‑hot encodings across nickel‑, palladium‑, and iridium‑catalysed systems. Prospective experiments on a palladium‑catalysed cyanation and an asymmetric hydrogenation produced high‑yield, high‑enantiomeric‑excess conditions after only two rounds of high‑throughput testing, translating directly to gram‑scale synthesis.
arXiv:2606. 05050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Theoretical heterogeneous catalysis promises rapid catalyst discovery, yet computational and machine-learning predictions often deviate from experiment and stay confined to narrow material families, for want of a faithful, condition-aware catalytic simulator.
arXiv:2605. 17254v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Property prediction and inverse structural design of catalytic materials are typically modeled as two independent tasks: the former predicts target properties from given structures, whereas the latter generates candidate structures according to desired properties.
arXiv:2606. 02507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inverse materials design is shifting materials discovery from forward prediction to targeted proposal of candidates that satisfy objectives under physical constraints.
arXiv:2504. 12075v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In the present work, a generative deep learning framework combining a Co-optimized Variational Autoencoder (Co-VAE) with quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) techniques is developed to enable inverse molecular design of fuels.
arXiv:2606. 19152v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Identifying the lowest-energy surface-adsorbate configuration is critical for modeling heterogeneous catalysis, yet exhaustive exploration with ab initio calculations is computationally prohibitive.
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. 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.
The paper introduces Align-React, a chemical reaction representation learning framework that incorporates atomic correspondence between reactants and products, an adapter for embedding reaction conditions, and a Reaction-Center-Aware attention mechanism. These components enable the model to capture precise molecular transformations and focus on critical functional groups, leading to improved performance across a variety of organic reaction tasks. The framework outperforms existing architectures on most benchmark datasets.
