Abstract

Accurate prediction of melting points for pure molecules remains a significant challenge in predictive chemistry, with implications across various scientific fields, including materials science, drug discovery, and separations chemistry. Traditional methods, such as group contribution (GC) techniques, have shown limited success due to the complex relationship between molecular structure and melting point. In this study, we present a data-driven machine learning (ML) approach to predict the melting points of organic compounds, leveraging both 2D and 3D molecular descriptors. Our results indicate that ML models can significantly improve melting-point predictions, providing a robust tool for the scientific community. Scientific contributionOur detailed analysis on melting point prediction, along with SHAP explainability, reveals the top influencing features for the prediction. The P2MAT application we developed as part of this study can predict both melting and boiling points from a SMILES string. P2MAT is available as an easy-to-install, user-friendly GUI for maximum outreach to the scientific community. Our benchmark analysis demonstrates the excellence of our method for predicting melting points.
