- Abstract
- Fluorophores play crucial roles in chemical and biological imaging. An efficient computational model that evaluates the electronic properties of molecules accurately would be a useful tool for discovering novel fluorophores. Tree-based ensemble and graph neural network (GNN) methods have been regarded as attractive models for predicting molecular properties. Here, we present a benchmark test using three tree-based ensemble methods (Random Forest, LightGBM, and XGBoost) and three GNNs (directed message passing neural network [D-MPNN], attention message passing neural network [AMPNN], and DimeNet++) for predicting electronic transition properties such as excitation energies and oscillator strengths. From our benchmark, DimeNet++ was identified as the most accurate model to predict electronic transition properties. The average root mean square error of DimeNet++ for predicting the HOMO-LUMO gap was 0.11 eV whereas those of the other methods exceeded 0.3 eV. D-MPNN predicted fastest without sacrificing accuracy. Our results show that DimeNet++ and D-MPNN may serve as helpful evaluators for novel fluorophore design when combined with molecular generation methods.
