Abstract
Geometric deep learning models, which incorporate the relevant molecular symmetries within the neural network architecture, have considerably improved the accuracy and data efficiency of predictions of molecular properties. Building on this success, we introduce 3DReact, a geometric deep learning model to predict reaction properties from three-dimensional structures of reactants and products. We demonstrate that the invariant version of the model is sufficient for existing reaction data sets. We illustrate its competitive performance on the prediction of activation barriers on the GDB7-22-TS, Cyclo-23-TS, and Proparg-21-TS data sets in different atom-mapping regimes. We show that, compared to existing models for reaction property prediction, 3DReact offers a flexible framework that exploits atom-mapping information, if available, as well as geometries of reactants and products (in an invariant or equivariant fashion). Accordingly, it performs systematically well across different data sets, atom-mapping regimes, as well as both interpolation and extrapolation tasks.
