Topology‐Aware Machine Learning for High‐Throughput Screening of MOFs in C8 Aromatic Separation
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.We screened 15,335 Computation‐Ready, Experimental Metal–Organic Frameworks (CoRE‐MOFs) using a topology‐aware machine learning (ML) model that integrates structural, chemical, pore‐size, and topological descriptors. Top‐performing MOFs exhibit aromatic‐enriched cavities and open metal sites that enable π–π and C–H···π interactions, serving as ...
