MOSAEC-DB: A comprehensive database of experimental metal-organic frameworks with verified chemical accuracy suitable for molecular simulations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ongoing developments in computational databases seek to improve the accessibility and breadth of high-throughput screening and materials discovery efforts. Their reliance on experimental crystal structures necessitates significant processing prior to computation in order to resolve any crystallographic disorder or partial occupancies and remove any residual solvent molecules in the case of activated porous materials. Contemporary investigations revealed that deficiencies in the experimental characterization and computational preprocessing methods generated considerable occurrence of structural errors in metal-organic framework (MOF) databases. The MOSAEC MOF database (MOSAEC-DB) tackles these structural reliability concerns through utilization of innovative preprocessing and error analysis protocols applying the concepts of oxidation states and formal charge to exclude erroneous MOF crystal structures. Comprising more than 124k crystal structures, this work maintains the largest and most accurate dataset of experimental MOFs ready for immediate deployment in molecular simulations. The databases’ comparative diversity is demonstrated through its enhanced coverage of the periodic table, expansive quantity of structures, and balance of chemical properties relative to existing MOF databases. Chemical and geometric descriptors, as well as DFT electrostatic potential-fitted charges, are included to facilitate subsequent atomistic simulation and machine-learning (ML) studies. Curated subsets—sampled according to their chemical properties and structural uniqueness—are also provided to further enable ML studies in recognition of the strict demand for duplicate elimination and dataset diversity in such applications.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
