Abstract
This research is centered on examining the magnetic characteristics of organic molecules, with a particular emphasis on magnetic susceptibility, an essential physical property that provides insights into molecular microstructures and reaction processes. Traditional approaches for determining and calculating magnetic susceptibility are generally inefficient and demanding. To overcome these challenges, we have introduced a novel approach using quantitative structure-property relationships, which efficiently elucidates the relationship between the structural properties of molecules and their molar magnetic susceptibility. In our study, we utilized a comprehensive database comprising molar magnetic susceptibility data for 382 organic molecules. We applied six distinct molecular fingerprinting methods-RDKit Fingerprint, Morgan Fingerprint, MACCS Keys, atom pair fingerprint, Avalon Fingerprint, and topology fingerprint-as feature inputs for training seven different machine learning models, namely random forest, AdaBoost, gradient boosting, extra trees, elastic net, support vector machine, and multilayer perceptron (MLP). Our findings revealed that the integration of the atom pair fingerprint with the MLP model yielded R(2) values of 0.88 and 0.90 in the validation and test sets, respectively, showcasing exceptional predictive accuracy. This advancement significantly expedites research and development processes related to the magnetic properties of organic molecules. Moreover, by employing this effective predictive method, it is expected to considerably reduce both experimental and computational expenses while maintaining high accuracy. This development represents a breakthrough in the rapid screening and prediction of properties for various compounds, offering a new and efficient pathway in this field of study.
