We report a method to convert discrete representations of molecules and from multidimensional continuous representation. This model allows us generate new for efficient exploration optimization through open-ended spaces chemical compounds. A deep neural network was trained on hundreds thousands existing structures construct three coupled functions: an encoder, decoder predictor. The encoder converts the representation molecule into real-valued vector, these vectors back molecular...

The high reactivity of acenes can reduce their potential applications in the field molecular electronics. Although pentacene is an important material for use organic field-effect transistors because its charge mobility, a major disadvantage hindering development applications. In this study, several reaction pathways thermal dimerization were considered computationally. formation acene dimers via central benzene ring and acene-based polymers found to be preferred pathways, depending on length...

Well-defined monodisperse conjugated oligomers, which have planar backbones and are free from the disturbance of substituents, attract broad interest. Herein, we report a series symmetrical, isomerically pure oligofurans, namely, 16-mer 16F-6C6 together with related nF-2C6 (n = 4, 6, 8). Through computational studies detailed spectroscopic X-ray characterization, for first time, show that planarity furan backbone is almost unaffected by head-to-head defect known to cause considerable twists...
