accelerated the prediction, optimization, and validation of organic chemical and materials properties. Despite this progress, chemical stability, which is central to analyzing the life-performance and feasibility of novel organic materials, remains beyond
our current capability to predict. This capability gap has resulted in many computational design efforts yielding libraries of conceptually interesting organic molecules and materials that nevertheless often fail to connect with real applications. Moreover,
chemical stability prediction faces the challenge that degradation chemistry is poorly represented in reaction databases, and as such cannot use domain heuristics that have been successful in other reaction prediction contexts. In this talk, I’ll discuss how
recent developments in automated reaction prediction, by our group and others, have created an opportunity to bring chemical stability into the realm of routine predictability. In particular, we have recently been able to reduce the cost of predicting reactions
involving generic organic molecules over 100-fold while also improving the accuracy of transition states and increasing the scope of kinetically relevant pathways. This method has been used to elucidate several reaction networks governing thermal degradation.
Each of these networks constitutes the most comprehensive exploration to date and all have been generated without using reaction templates or other domain knowledge implements that are commonly used in network construction. On the horizon, the throughput enabled
by these and similar efforts will generate valuable data sources for nascent machine learning efforts in this space, which will ultimately allow us to routinely predict how things fall apart.
