arXiv:2606. 00315v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern generative machine learning (ML) models can propose novel inorganic crystalline materials with targeted properties; however, synthesis planning of these materials remains difficult due to the complexity of the associated physical processes and limited availability of computational tools.

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.

SynAgent is a framework that uses large language model agents to run autonomous experiments while building an explicit, revisable understanding of the synthesis process. Unlike traditional black‑box optimizers, SynAgent generates analysis skills on the fly and reasons multimodally over data such as X‑ray diffraction patterns and electron micrographs. In an 18‑experiment campaign on LiCoO₂ thin‑film deposition, SynAgent produced highly crystalline films and uncovered a sharp temperature threshold and optimal growth window (650–690 °C) for crystallization.
