We have thus systematically studied here a set of Clar's Goblet derivatives upon a controlled substitution at different C sites, to alter the electronic structure of the molecules and disclose the positions at which: (i) the ground-state multiplicity becomes a closed-shell singlet and (ii) the energy difference between <i>S</i><sub>1</sub> and <i>T</i><sub>1</sub> is considerably small (i.e., below 0.1-0.2 eV to induce a triplet exciton recovery upon thermal effects).

Developing precise prediction models for the combustion properties is, therefore, an issue of importance in both industry and academy. Previous studies reported promising models based on graph neural networks (GNNs) and message-passing architectures. However, these models often neglect the hierarchical and three-dimensional structure of chemical compounds and do not provide chemical information like which fragments of the compound contribute to the combustion properties. In this study, we introduce Chemomile, an explainable geometry-based GNN model specifically designed for combustion property prediction. Chemomile constructs multiple graphs for each chemical compound using its molecular geometry: molecule-level, fragment-level, and junction-tree-level graphs. We employ multiple AttentiveFP layers for multiple graphs to make the final prediction of the combustion properties. Chemomile is optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO) and benchmarked against five combustion properties (flashpoint, autoignition temperature, enthalpy of combustion, and upper and lower flammability limits).

Scaling the temperature in terms of this melting point is shown to bring the simulated and experimental diffusion coefficients into good agreement. The self-diffusion coefficients are consistent with those expected for a fragile liquid, and the changes in viscosity expected as the carbonate liquid is cooled are explained by the development of chains and complex structures that directly result from the flexibility of the anion introduced in this modeling approach.

Moreover, this method allowed us to exclude certain multiplicity states of the NCs, as their CCS values were significantly different from those predicted for the lowest-energy structures. This study demonstrates that gas-phase IM-MS is a powerful technique for detecting subtle size differences in atomically precise NCs, which are often challenging to observe using conventional NC characterization methods.
