Researchers have developed ActMOF, a new benchmark for comparing active learning strategies in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). This system uses experimentally measured data from aluminum-carboxylate MOF syntheses, with crystallinity assessed via diffraction peak intensity and width. By benchmarking policies including Gaussian processes, tree ensembles, and large language models, ActMOF identified Gaussian processes as leading strategies for active learning in sparse synthesis landscapes. The system was then successfully used to guide the synthesis of six related aluminum MOFs within a budget of 12 experiments each. AI
