• Abstract summary: We consider the task of predicting a molecule's all-atom 3D structure given only its molecular formula and moments of inertia. Existing generative models can conditionally sample 3D structures with approximately correct moments. We propose Stiefel Flow Matching as a generative model for elucidating 3D structure under exact moment constraints.

• Abstract: Molecular structure elucidation is a fundamental step in understanding chemical phenomena, with applications in identifying molecules in natural products, lab syntheses, forensic samples, and the interstellar medium. We consider the task of predicting a molecule's all-atom 3D structure given only its molecular formula and moments of inertia, motivated by the ability of rotational spectroscopy to measure these moments. While existing generative models can conditionally sample 3D structures with approximately correct moments, this soft conditioning fails to leverage the many digits of precision afforded by experimental rotational spectroscopy. To address this, we first show that the space of $n$-atom point clouds with a fixed set of moments of inertia is embedded in the Stiefel manifold $\mathrm{St}(n, 4)$. We then propose Stiefel Flow Matching as a generative model for elucidating 3D structure under exact moment constraints. Additionally, we learn simpler and shorter flows by finding approximate solutions for equivariant optimal transport on the Stiefel manifold. Empirically, enforcing exact moment constraints allows Stiefel Flow Matching to achieve higher success rates and faster sampling than Euclidean diffusion models, even on high-dimensional manifolds corresponding to large molecules in the GEOM dataset.

  We present a novel way to predict molecular conformers through a simple formulation that sidesteps many of the equis of prior works and achieves state of the art results by using the advantages of scale. We are able to radically simplify structure learning, and make it trivial to scale up the model sizes. This model, called Molecular Conformer Fields (MCF), works by parameterizing conformer structures as functions that map elements from a molecular graph directly to their 3D location in space.

  We develop KREED, a generative diffusion model that infers a molecule's complete 3D structure from its molecular formula, moments of inertia, and unsigned substitution coordinates of heavy atoms. KREED's top-1 predictions identify the correct 3D structure with >98% accuracy on the QM9 and GEOM datasets. On a test set of experimentally measured substitution coordinates gathered from the literature, KREED predicts the correct all-atom 3D structure in 25 of 33 cases.

In the experiments, our method can generate molecules with more realistic 3D structures, competitive affinities toward the protein targets, and better drug properties.

The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
