Version 3.0.0 (2025-04-28)

Major Enhancements



Added functional group classification: Each compound is now classified according to 26 different functional groups including alcohols, alkanes, aromatics, ethers, and more

SMILES representation: Added canonical SMILES strings for all compounds with valid InChI identifiers

Organic/inorganic classification: Each compound is now labeled as organic or inorganic based on chemical structure


Data Processing Improvements



InChI standardization: Fixed inconsistent InChI prefixes, ensuring all follow the standard "InChI=1S/" format

Structure validation: All molecular structures have been validated using RDKit's chemical informatics toolkit

Missing data handling: Improved handling of compounds with invalid or missing structural identifiers


Technical Details



Used RDKit for chemical structure manipulation and SMILES conversion

Applied Thermo library for functional group classification

Conversion success rate: 98.7% of compounds with valid InChI were successfully converted to SMILES

Functional group identification completed for 97.9% of valid structures


Dataset Statistics



Top 5 functional groups identified:



Organic compounds: 76.4%

Hydrocarbons: 34.2%

Aromatics: 23.7%

Alcohols: 19.8%

Ethers: 14.3%




Known Limitations



Approximately 1.3% of InChI strings could not be converted to SMILES due to structural inconsistencies

Some complex metal-organic compounds may have inconsistent functional group classification

Polymers and mixtures may have limited functional group detection accuracy


Potential Applications



Enhanced structure-activity relationship modeling

More precise chemical similarity searches

Improved filtering and grouping based on chemical functionality

Better substructure-based analysis for drug discovery and material science
