arXiv:2606. 29459v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inverse design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) requires searching a combinatorially vast space where property labels are expensive and most machine-learning models reveal little about why a structure succeeds.

arXiv:2608. 11283v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computation-ready metal-organic framework (MOF) databases are essential for high-throughput screening, yet many reported crystal structures remain chemically unreasonable or disordered, compromising simulation fidelity.

arXiv:2606. 07712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Progress in AI-driven crystal materials science has so far been carried by narrow architectures purpose-built for individual tasks -- graph neural networks for property prediction, diffusion and flow-matching models for crystal generation -- each excelling within its niche yet unable to act as a shared backbone across the full spectrum of materials problems.

arXiv:2607. 02140v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chemical language models (CLMs) are trained with linearized representations such as SMILES, yet it remains unclear which chemically meaningful substructures they encode.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a highly modular platform for adsorptive gas separation, yet their vast reticular design space makes inverse design difficult under simultaneous constraints of chemical validity, separation performance, and structural diversity. Here, we present LEMO Agent, a large-language-model agent framework for closed-loop inverse design of gas-separation MOFs in MOFid space.
arXiv:2607. 03007v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in molecular large language models have led to strong performance on molecular understanding and generation tasks, yet these gains often come without reliable structural grounding.
