Combining AI and automation towards the prediction of crystal structure landscapes

May 27, 2021

Discovery of crystal structures is often a challenging and time consuming process. The combination of crystal structure prediction (CSP) with high-throughput (HT) crystallization screening methods greatly accelerates the identification and selection of structures with desirable physical properties. While CSP provides valuable insights into a molecule's structural preferences, HT rapidly evaluates hundreds of different crystallisation conditions. Such protocols have for example been used to search for polymorphs of interest. Prof. Andrew Cooper from the Materials Innovation Factory and University of Liverpool describes the state-of-the-art derived from their most recent works on the subject.

Prof. Andrew Cooper is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool, a Fellow of the Royal Society and was awarded the Hughes Medal in 2019.

Automated synthesis and fragment descriptor-based machine learning for retention time prediction in supercritical fluid chromatography

The integration of automated synthesis and machine learning (ML) is transforming analytical chemistry by enabling data-driven approaches to method development. Chromatographic column selection, a critical yet time-consuming step in separation science, stands to benefit substantially from such advances.
