New MOFjson format enhances language model understanding of metal-organic frameworks

Researchers have introduced MOFjson, a novel representation for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) designed to improve how language models understand their structure. Unlike previous formats that separate atomic geometry from topological information, MOFjson explicitly separates raw atomic data with bond shift vectors from derived layers detailing secondary building units and network topology. This new format has demonstrated superior performance across four different language models on a benchmark designed for MOFs, outperforming existing methods in tasks such as identifying periodic copies, characterizing crystal systems, and determining coordination numbers.

IMPACT This new representation could enable more sophisticated AI workflows for MOF design and generation.

    MOFjson: An Explicit Topological Representation of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Language Models

    arXiv:2610.34549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) rely on formats that separate atomic geometry from structural topology, forcing models to choose between unstructured coordinate lists and non-spatial string identifiers[1]. We pre…
