• Abstract summary: We introduce a neural network potential to accelerate simulations for azobenzene derivatives. The network is six orders of magnitude faster than the quantum chemistry method used for training. We use the model to virtually screen 3,100 hypothetical molecules, and identify several species with extremely high quantum yields.

• Abstract: Light-induced chemical processes are ubiquitous in nature and have widespread technological applications. For example, the photoisomerization of azobenzene allows a drug with an azo scaffold to be activated with light. In principle, photoswitches with useful reactive properties, such as high isomerization yields, can be identified through virtual screening with reactive simulations. In practice these simulations are rarely used for screening, since they require hundreds of trajectories and expensive quantum chemical methods to account for non-adiabatic excited state effects. Here we introduce a neural network potential to accelerate such simulations for azobenzene derivatives. The model, which is based on diabatic states, is called the \textit{diabatic artificial neural network} (DANN). The network is six orders of magnitude faster than the quantum chemistry method used for training. DANN is transferable to molecules outside the training set, predicting quantum yields for unseen species that are correlated with experiment. We use the model to virtually screen 3,100 hypothetical molecules, and identify several species with extremely high quantum yields. Our results pave the way for fast and accurate virtual screening of photoactive compounds.

  We propose a score-based diffusion scheme that incorporates out-of-distribution control in the generative differential equation (SDE) Since some novel molecules may not meet the basic requirements of real-world drugs, MOOD performs conditional generation by utilizing the gradients from a property predictor. We experimentally validate that MOOD is able to explore the chemical space beyond the training distribution, generating molecules that outscore ones found with existing methods, and even the top 0.01% of the original training pool.
