Data Science Approach to Estimate Enthalpy of Formation of Cyclic Hydrocarbons.

ABSTRACT: In spite of increasing importance of cyclic hydrocarbons in various chemical systems, studies on the fundamental properties of these compounds, such as enthalpy of formation, are still scarce. One of the reasons for this is the fact that the estimation of the thermodynamic properties of cyclic hydrocarbon species via cost-effective computational approaches, such as group additivity (GA), has several limitations and challenges. In this study, a machine learning (ML) approach is proposed using a support vector regression (SVR) algorithm to predict the standard enthalpy of formation of cyclic hydrocarbon species. The model is developed based on a thoroughly selected dataset of accurate experimental values of 192 species collected from the literature. The molecular descriptors used as input to the SVR are calculated via alvaDesc software, which computes in total 5255 features classified into 30 categories. The developed SVR model has an average error of approximately 10 kJ/mol. In comparison, the SVR model outperforms the GA approach for complex molecules and can be therefore proposed as a novel data-driven approach to estimate enthalpy values for complex cyclic species. A sensitivity analysis is also conducted to examine the relevant features that play a role in affecting the standard enthalpy of formation of cyclic species. Our species dataset is expected to be updated and expanded as new data are available to develop a more accurate SVR model with broader applicability.

Project description:Thermodynamic properties, i.e., bond dissociation energies and enthalpy of formation, of chlorinated and brominated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons play a fundamental role in understanding their formation mechanisms and reactivity. Computational electronic structure calculations routinely used to predict thermodynamic properties of various species are limited for these compounds due to large computational cost to obtain accurate results by employing high-level wave function theory methods. In this work, a number of composite model chemistry methods (CBS-QB3, G3MP2, G3, and G4) are used to compute bond dissociation energies and enthalpies of formation of small to medium-size chlorinated and brominated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. The enthalpy of formation is derived via the atomization method and compared against the recommended values. Statistical analysis indicates that G4 is the best method. For comparison, three commonly used density functional theory (DFT) methods (M06-2X, ωB97X-D and B2PLYP-D3) with various basis sets including 6-311++G(d, p), cc-pVTZ, and cc-pVQZ in the prediction of bond dissociation energies and enthalpies of formation have been tested using the optimized geometries at the same M06-2X/6-311++G(d, p) level of theory. It is found that ωB97X-D/6-311++G(d, p) shows the best performance in computing the bond dissociation energies, while ωB97X-D/cc-pVTZ exhibits the best prediction in enthalpy of formation of the studied reaction systems. The structural effect on the bond dissociation energies and enthalpy of formation of chlorinated and brominated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are then systematically analyzed. Based on comparisons of the various methods, reliable DFT methods are recommended for future theoretical studies on large chlorinated and brominated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons considering both accuracy and computational cost. This work, to the authors' knowledge, is the first to systematically benchmark theoretical methods for the accurate prediction of thermodynamic properties for chlorinated and brominated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Project description:BackgroundOne of the main topics in the development of quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) predictive models is the identification of the subset of variables that represent the structure of a molecule and which are predictors for a given property. There are several automated feature selection methods, ranging from backward, forward or stepwise procedures, to further elaborated methodologies such as evolutionary programming. The problem lies in selecting the minimum subset of descriptors that can predict a certain property with a good performance, computationally efficient and in a more robust way, since the presence of irrelevant or redundant features can cause poor generalization capacity. In this paper an alternative selection method, based on Random Forests to determine the variable importance is proposed in the context of QSPR regression problems, with an application to a manually curated dataset for predicting standard enthalpy of formation. The subsequent predictive models are trained with support vector machines introducing the variables sequentially from a ranked list based on the variable importance.ResultsThe model generalizes well even with a high dimensional dataset and in the presence of highly correlated variables. The feature selection step was shown to yield lower prediction errors with RMSE values 23% lower than without feature selection, albeit using only 6% of the total number of variables (89 from the original 1485). The proposed approach further compared favourably with other feature selection methods and dimension reduction of the feature space. The predictive model was selected using a 10-fold cross validation procedure and, after selection, it was validated with an independent set to assess its performance when applied to new data and the results were similar to the ones obtained for the training set, supporting the robustness of the proposed approach.ConclusionsThe proposed methodology seemingly improves the prediction performance of standard enthalpy of formation of hydrocarbons using a limited set of molecular descriptors, providing faster and more cost-effective calculation of descriptors by reducing their numbers, and providing a better understanding of the underlying relationship between the molecular structure represented by descriptors and the property of interest.

Project description:The data presented in this study were obtained from a novel approach to estimate a comprehensive loan acquisition cost. The latter includes commute costs and wage losses in addition to the monthly installment payments. These cost estimates represent the monetary value (in U.S. dollars) of the costs of driving to and from the installment lender storefront and that of the potential hourly wage losses, that is, wage loss from the driving time and the time spent at the loan office filling out the required paperwork to obtain the loan. Borrowers only get the net loan proceeds, that is, the original loan amount minus the comprehensive loan acquisition costs. The study area has 160 counties. It was created from the ESRI ArcGIS Map (a mapping software) using the spatial data from the U.S. Census, Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) Cartographic boundary files representing the geographies of states and counties. Using the U.S. road networks, the origin of the trip is a county seat in Arkansas and the destination of the trip is a county seat in a surrounding state of Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. The transportation networks were established using Google Earth/Directions to efficiently measure the travel time (distance). The average cost of a trip of 17 cents (U.S. dollar) was calculated based on the U.S. Department of Transportation Survey data, which identify important attributes of a typical vehicle used in a county such as model make, age of the vehicle, fuel consumption, etc. There are 10 occupational industry sectors where a typical borrower has a job. To estimate wage loss, the data were gathered from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, namely, the Occupational Employment Statistics. Putting the missing pieces together, the data contain in this study improve our understanding of extra costs borne by borrowers located in the "loan desert" area. As expected, interior counties post high loan acquisition costs compared with border counties. The data from this study are useful to the public, businesses, policymakers, and researchers working on consumer finance.
