The paper introduces SciKGExtract, a schema-guided framework that uses large‑language‑model extraction, chemical normalization, and agent‑based evaluation to convert heterogeneous materials science literature into a knowledge graph. Applied to 176 atomic‑layer‑deposition papers on ZnO and IGZO, the system improves extraction F1 from 0.591 to 0.805 for ZnO with agentic refinement, while IGZO remains more challenging at 0.344. Evaluation against a detailed schema of 65 experimental properties and 155 quantitative nodes reveals segmentation and numerical assignment errors, highlighting the complementary role of chemical canonicalization and agentic verification in producing machine‑actionable experimental knowledge.

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.
MAESTRO is a large language model agent that automates the full screening pipeline for metal‑organic frameworks (MOFs). It parses extensive MOF literature, links publications to crystal structures, curates a computation‑ready database, and then applies a progressively more expensive computational strategy to identify promising candidates. The identified materials for wet flue gas separation come from unrelated studies, demonstrating the agent’s ability to uncover high‑performance materials across domains.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the gold standard for molecular structure elucidation, yet interpreting complex spectra for unknown molecules remains a bottleneck reliant on human expertise. While artificial intelligence has advanced this field, current methods face a critical trade-off: database retrieval cannot identify novel scaffolds, while de novo molecular structure elucidation models operate as black boxes, lacking the atom-level interpretability required for rigorous scientific validation.

arXiv:2607. 07708v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Structure-property relationships are foundational to biology, chemistry and materials science, where function, reactivity and physical response emerge from spatial, chemical and periodic organization.
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.
MOF-VERIFY is a failure-aware agentic harness designed to improve hypothesis verification for metal‑organic frameworks (MOFs). It introduces a diagnostic benchmark with four task families—structural grounding, synthesis‑condition verification, evidence‑sufficiency verification, and MLIP‑based computational verification—to pinpoint failures in knowledge access, evidence acquisition, and reasoning. Guided by these diagnostics, MOF‑Verify addresses structural, literature, evidence‑sufficiency, and computational bottlenecks, achieving significant performance gains over direct inference and retrieval‑based baselines across multiple large language models.
